- 2 months ago
Son Heung-min reportedly dislocated a finger after an altercation with a team-mate on the night before South Korea's surprise Asian Cup exit.
A quarrel flared up between Son and his teammates while they were eating on the eve of their semi-final clash with Jordan, which they lost 2-0 on February 6.
Young squad members were reportedly rushing their meals so they could dash off and play table tennis.
However, Son was annoyed with them for toddling off early instead of bonding over food and took issue with PSG's Lee-Kang-in, according to the Sun.
A war of words descended into a bust-up which left Tottenham ace Son nursing a dislocated finger.
A source told the Sun: 'The row erupted from nowhere. A few of the younger players ate very quickly and left the rest of the squad to play ping pong.
'Son asked them to come back and sit down when some disrespectful things were said to him.
'Within seconds players the row spilled into the dining area and players were being pulled apart.
'Son badly injured his finger trying to calm everyone down.'
Son still played in the 2-0 defeat by Jordan on the next day, wearing a bandage on the middle finger of his right hand.
South Korea's exit against them was a huge shock, especially considering that Jordan had never even been past the semi-finals before.
Son was back on Spurs duty on Saturday, coming off the bench in a 2-1 win over Brighton with the bandage still adorning his finger.
