Son will only have several days to recover mentally before the South Korean steam goes to Beirut to play against Lebanon in a World Cup qualifier on November 14. Then they will play Brazil in an international friendly in Abu Dhabi on November 19. Fans betting on sports want to know if Son is 100 percent mentally during those games.

Son Heung-min Needs Time to Prepare Mentally

South Korea national football coach Paulo Bento is aware of the incident and said he knows Son didn’t have any ill intentions when he tackled Gomes. Bento, who comes from Portugal, wishes fast recovery for his countryman.
