What Tottenham star Son Heung-min did ahead of South Korea World Cup clash vs Ghana

Tottenham star Son Heung-min is in action for South Korea once again as they take on Ghana in their second Group H World Cup fixture.

South Korea come into the game after drawing 0-0 against Uruguay in their opening match of the World Cup. Son has been unable to get on the scoresheet for his country so far after enduring a frustrating opening fixture but will hope to lead his nation to a win this afternoon.

The Spurs striker is still recovering after suffering a fractured eye socket which he sustained during Tottenham's UEFA Champions League win against Marseille before the World Cup. Son continues to wear a face mask that allows him to play safely and captains his country once again as they aim to qualify from Group H.

Ahead of the match, Son lined up alongside his teammates for the South Korea national anthem before showing his leadership in the squad. The Tottenham star looked to motivate his teammates by screaming at them after the anthem had finished.

As the TV cameras panned to Son, he shouted: "Come on, come on!" The 30-year-old is clearly up for the match and will be crucial in helping South Korea qualify from Group H as they look to move onto four points.

Portugal are set to take on Uruguay later this evening and South Korea will be hoping Cristiano Ronaldo and Co can beat Uruguay to give them a better chance on qualifying for the round of 16 stage.
