British media "Son Heung-min suffered a dislocated finger at a meal the day before the Jordan match"
There was a British media report that there was an argument between players of the Korean national soccer team the day before the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.
British popular newspaper The Sun reported on the 14th (Korean time), "Tottenham star Son Heung-min suffered a dislocated finger during an argument with his teammates at a dinner table the day before the Korean national team's Asian Cup semifinal."
According to this media outlet, the accident occurred at a dinner party the day before the semifinals.
The Sun claims that the incident occurred when some young players who had eaten early left to play table tennis, and captain Son Heung-min, who had considered the dinner as a time for team unity, was displeased and spoke bitterly.
The Sun reported, “Among the young players who left early to play table tennis was Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).”
The media explained, "Son Heung-min asked the players to come back and sit down, but some of the players spoke rudely.
A fight quickly broke out, and teammates broke it up.
In the process, Son Heung-min seriously injured his finger."
In the end, Son Heung-min, who injured his finger, played in the semifinal match against Jordan with white tape on his right middle and index fingers, and the national team was eliminated in the semifinals due to a lethargic performance that failed to record a single effective shot.
Regarding The Sun's report, an official from the Korea Football Association said, "We received a report that the players were fighting during the tournament.
There was friction with Son Heung-min while some young players were trying to play table tennis, and in the process, Son Heung-min cut his finger."
“I was hurt,” he said.
