South Korea national team star Son Heung-Min has a very good record against Premier League holders Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur would be counting on him when they take on the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium later this weekend. Manchester City will play hosts to Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League encounter billed for the Etihad Stadium with both teams needing the three points on offer for various reasons.

Premier League leaders Manchester City are in a direct battle with Liverpool for the title this season, while Tottenham Hotspur are in the battle to qualify for next season's Champions League with several teams. Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves, West Ham United and Manchester United are all fighting for a place in the top-four to guarantee Champions League football next season.

South Korea international Son Heung-Min will miss the Premier League clash at Leicester City on Thursday night after testing positive for Covid-19 last week. The South Korea football star is one of several Spurs players who will miss the game against the Foxes due to the aforementioned virus.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has had to deal with a Coronavirus outbreak at their training ground which prompted the closing down of the training ground for a few days. Spurs have had two games postponed due to the outbreak at their training ground. The matches against Rennes and Brighton & Hove Albion in the UEFA European Conference League and Premier League respectively were called off due to the outbreak.

South Korea national team talisman Son Heung-Min has been named as one of the best players during the latest Premier League season. The Tottenham Hotspur attacker made the best Premier League XI for this season as revealed by the Premier League body earlier this week.

The South Korea player was named in a three-man attack alongside Tottenham Hotspur teammate Harry Kane and Liverpool player Mohamed Salah.

South Korea national team skipper Son Heung-Min made a scoring return to the Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up last weekend but his goal could not save his team from losing to Manchester United in a Premier League encounter played at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The South Korea attacker sustained an hamstring problem in the 2-1 defeat at Arsenal in the North London Derby last month and he didn't return until after the recent international break.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has reportedly expressed his eagerness to represent South Korea at the Asian games this year in order to bypass the country’s military service.All able-bodied South Korean males have to compulsorily serve the military for a period of 21 months but they can get an exemption from this by winning a gold medal at either the Olympic or the Asian games.

As such, the 25-year-old is keen to ply his trade for the South Korea Under 23s this summer and their coach Kim Hak-bum has confirmed the player’s interest, he said: “Son has a strong will to compete at the Asian Games. But first, there's the World Cup. I told Son to play well in Russia before we meet at the Asian Games.”

South Korea international Son Heung-Min expressed his disappointment after Tottenham Hotspur were knocked out of this season’s Champions League. The north London club had been in a solid position to qualify for the quarter-final stage after they put in a solid performance in the first-leg of their round of 16 tie at Juventus – which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Son enhanced the club’s chances further by netting the opener during the second-leg, but this was not sufficient as Juventus came from behind to pick up a 2-1 victory. The triumph ensured that the Bianconeri progressed with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline, and Son has admitted that there is a sense of unhappiness within the squad.
