Son carried out official training sessions happily. However, Hong maintained a cautious stance.

Led by coach Hong Myung-bo, the South Korean national soccer team will face Kuwait in the 10th Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North-China at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. South Korea won 2-0 away to Iraq in the ninth round, confirming its advance to the World Cup finals.
Son has been receiving consideration from coach Hong Myung-bo due to the aftermath of the injury. Son groaned with a foot injury in the second half of this season for his club Tottenham Hotspur. He played as a substitute in the second half of the UEFA Europa League final, but never fully recovered. The same was true after he joined the national team. Hong Myung-bo excluded Son from the list of players against Iraq last time, trying to recover from the injury.

"My foot injury didn't heal 100 percent. If I overdo it, I could run for about two to 30 minutes. However, I didn't think it was desirable for Son. I will judge it after two to three days, but it is not the right time to overdo it," he told reporters at a press conference in Korea after winning the match against Iraq.

However, he was gradually recovering his physical condition. At the Paju NFC on Tuesday, Son was fully trained. "He is in good physical condition to play games," said an official from the national team.

However, Hong maintained a cautious stance. "The final decision will be made on whether to play in tomorrow's match after the training is completed today. Son will be able to play in the match, but how long he will be able to play will be decided after talking to the player himself after the training session," said Hong at a press conference before the match against Kuwait.

Son Heung-min has been in better physical condition since he showed up at an official training session. Son conducted passing training with Lee Jae-sung. They exchanged long passes using his left and right feet from a long distance. "Ah, (Lee) Jae-sung is really) real!" Son said in a relaxed manner.

Coach Hong Myung-bo is expected to communicate directly with Son Heung-min after the official training is completed to decide whether to play against Kuwait.
