It is known that Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham Hotspur) has tested negative for COVID-19.



A local source familiar with the situation said on the 16th (local time), "Tonight, I was contacted by the agent saying, 'Son has tested negative and will play against Newcastle tomorrow (17th)."



The day before, British media reported that two players were confirmed with Corona 19 at Tottenham Hotspur, where Son Heung-min belongs.



Although the club's official announcement was not made, Son Heung-min's name was mentioned and drew extraordinary attention from domestic and foreign soccer fans.



The Times added that "Heung-Min Son is unlikely to play against Newcastle," and Daily Hotspur, a Twitter account that delivers news of Tottenham, also reported that "Heung-Min Son and Brian Hill have been confirmed."



Son Heung-min returned to Tottenham after playing the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian final qualifier during the match A period, so the concern was greater.



The national team played the third game of the final qualifier against Syria in Ansan, and then went to Iran to play the fourth game.



If Son Heung-min was infected with Corona 19 while digesting the national team schedule, there was a possibility that other players could also be confirmed.

When a star player in the English Premier League (EPL) such as Heung-Min Son is confirmed, there are usually reports that mention their real name, but this time it is relatively quiet.



There is no mention on Tottenham's official communication channels such as Twitter and Facebook.



In the interview video of Tottenham Hotspur manager Nunu Santo released ahead of the Newcastle game, there is no content related to the corona 19 confirmed person.



An official from the Korea Football Association said, "We have not yet confirmed whether Son Heung-min is confirmed.
