Ghana’s group opponent South Korea have been handed a massive Son Heung-Min’s injury boost ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Tottenham star suffered a fracture around his left eye while in action against Marseille in the UEFA Champions League last week.
The forward underwent surgery and was an injury doubt for the Asian country ahead of the mundial.
But Son himself reiterated on Wednesday he will feature in Qatar, with South Korea set to name their squad later in the week.
“I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you all for the messages of support I have received over the last week,” the Tottenham forward wrote on Instagram.
“I have read so many of them and truly, truly appreciate you all. In a tough time, I received a lot of strength from you!
“Playing for your country at the World Cup is the dream of so many children growing up, just as it was one of mine too. I won’t miss this for the world. I can’t wait to represent our beautiful country, see you soon.”
South Korea has been housed in Group H against Ghana, Portugal and Uruguay.
They will take on Uruguay in their opening fixture before they face Ghana and Uruguay respectively.
