Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham), who took the lead in progressing to the round of 16 of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, returns to the English Premier League (EPL) after around two months and is aiming for a fourth goal of the league.
Tottenham play an EPL round 17 away match at Brentford Community Stadium at 9.30pm on the 26th.
Son Heung-min is expected to return to the league against Brentford in about two months after the match against Bournemouth on 29 October.
On the 2nd of last month, during the UEFA Champions League group stage match, Son Heung-min collided with opposing defender Chansel Mbemba and suffered an orbital fracture.
Prior to this match, Tottenham are in 4th place in the league with 29 points from 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. Opponent Brentford are tenth in the league with 19 points from 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses.
Son Heung-min has scored 5 goals and 2 assists in 19 games this season. Son Heung-min scored 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 Premier League games and 2 goals in 6 Champions League games. If this time the marker is activated, it will be the 4th goal in the league and the 6th goal of the season.
Son Heung-min warmed up in a friendly match. Son Heung-min played 16 minutes as a 29th-minute substitute in a friendly match against Nice on the 22nd minute. Although he wore a mask, Son Heung-min showed his health in front of the home fans by displaying a menacing run.
While Hisharlisson, who performed well at the World Cup in Qatar, cannot play due to a thigh injury, the performances of Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski are important. Kane has 12 goals and 1 assist in the league this season, and Kulusevski has 1 goal and 5 assists in the league.
Meanwhile Hwang Hee-chan, who belongs to Wolverhampton in the Premier League, challenges for the first goal of the season. Hwang Hee-chan is due to play Everton away at midnight on the 27th.
