Son Heung-min, star forward for Tottenham Hotspur and captain of the South Korean national team, will soon be making his return to the English club following their surprise elimination from the Asian Cup at the hands of Jordan.
The unexpected 2-0 defeat means that Son will be available for upcoming matches for Spurs, although his exact return date is yet to be determined.
Return to Club Level

While the disappointment will be felt deeply, the prospect of Son’s quick return to club level is a silver lining for Spurs fans.
Spurs’ next fixture is against Brighton & Hove Albion on February 10, which will likely come too soon for Son to be included in the squad.
However, the visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers seven days later may provide a realistic opportunity for the 31-year-old forward to rejoin the team.
It is worth noting that the originally scheduled game against Chelsea has been postponed due to the Blues’ involvement in the Carabao Cup final.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has expressed his sentiment, indicating that he would have been content to see Son continue his absence from the club if it meant success for South Korea in the Asian Cup.
Nonetheless, Postecoglou will undoubtedly be pleased to have another crucial member of his team available sooner than expected.
While Son has been Spurs’ top scorer this season with 12 goals in 20 appearances, he has faced tough competition from Richarlison.
The Brazilian forward, who had a relatively quiet season last year, has been in formidable form recently, finding the net ten times this year, including nine goals in his last eight games.
The Unexpected Upset

The 2-0 win in the semi-final match has propelled Jordan into unfamiliar territory, setting up a showdown with either Qatar or Iran in the coveted final match of the tournament.
Jordan’s journey to the final has been nothing short of impressive, particularly considering their lack of prior success in the competition.
The victory over South Korea has showcased the rising prowess of Jordan’s national team, and their remarkable underdog story has captured the attention of football fans worldwide.
