Korean player Heung-min Son injured his finger before the Asian Cup semi-final between South Korea and Jordan. The Tottenham player already wore the bandage on his right hand during the game. Now The Sun details what happened to Son. According to the British media, Son came to blows with several teammates on the eve of the vital semifinal clash. The dispute arose over ping pong.

Son reproached several of his classmates for eating dinner quickly to continue playing table tennis. It did not sit well with the South Korean captain that habits were not respected before such an important match and that the youngest players had other distractions. The Sun indicates that Son asked the younger ones to return to the dining room and leave the ping pong games. Then, in a matter of seconds, an argument arose between Son and these younger companions, among whom was Kang-In Lee, and they had to be separated by other members of the South Korean concentration.

There is an article saying that there was a dispute with Heung-Min Son before an Asia Cup match. We are very disappointed for failing the fans, who always support our team. Very sorry. I should have lived up to it and obeyed my teammates, but I can only regret showing this bad version of myself to the fans. I apologize to those I have disappointed. I am very aware of the interest and expectations that the fans transmit to me. From now on, I will try to help my older teammates to become a better player and a better person.” A blame for Kang-In Lee for his behavior.
