During the recent Tottenham Hotspur game, fans noticed that Son Heung-min had bandages on his right middle and index fingers. According to The Sun UK, the mishap stems from an unpleasant experience he had during the Asian Cup when he accidentally sprained his finger while representing the South Korean national team.
It turns out that on the eve of the Asian Cup quarterfinals match, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Lee Kang-in led a group of young South Korean players who were eager to finish their dinner and wanted to go play ping-pong ahead of time, a move that angered captain Son Heung-min. He argued that dinner is a good time to promote team bonding and should not be divided into cliques.
When Sun Xingmin asked these young players to return to their seats, the other side actually spoke out of turn, instantly igniting a powder keg, and other players joined in the fracas, which almost turned into a melee. It was only through the intervention of Sun Xingmin and others present that a larger clash was avoided, but in the process, Sun Xingmin suffered an unfortunate injury to his finger.
