On the 14th, according to the British media "The Sun", on the eve of the South Korean team being eliminated by the Jordan team in the Asian Cup, Son Xingmin clashed with his teammates and dislocated his finger in this conflict.
The report claims that before the semi-final match against Jordan, a quarrel broke out over dinner in South Korea, with some of the team's young players at odds with captain Son Heung-min, and striker Lee Gang-in, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, is one of them.
Sun Xingmin's right fingers were wrapped in bandages.
A source said that some young players ate quickly at that time and quickly got up to go to the table tennis room to play, but as the captain, Sun Xingmin expressed dissatisfaction with some players leaving the table early, and he hoped that all the players could take the opportunity of dinner to communicate more.
Someone then said some disrespectful things to Son and a conflict broke out with him, resulting in a serious injury to his fingers.
After that, the South Korean team lost to Jordan in the semi-finals and failed to advance to the final. And after returning to Tottenham, Son Xingmin has been wearing bandages on his hands.
