Son Heung-min will be on the operating table today (4th) one day earlier than planned.
It is said that the swelling went down quickly, but there are positive interpretations that the condition may not be serious.

The Telegraph, a British daily newspaper, reported that "fractures were found in four bones around the eyes of Son Heung-min.
While accurate information on the location and extent of the injury is still limited, experts are placing weight on the 'triangle fracture'.
A 'triangle fracture' is a facial injury in which the cheekbones around the eyes are broken in a triangular shape.
[Kwon-Il Kim / Director Yebit Ophthalmology: There is a part that connects to the temporal bone, a part that forms an outward arch, and a part that attaches to the maxilla.
Maybe that's the extent of fractures and cracks in those three areas.] Considering that the
surgery was moved one day earlier, the severity of the injury was not as severe as expected, so it can be interpreted that the swelling went down quickly.
[It can reflect the saying that there is not much damage around.
You don't need to touch the upper part of the face, and the arch made by the cheekbones collapses easily, so I think you can guess that it will only be restored there.]
Experts estimate that the recovery period for a triangular fracture is three to five weeks.
The Telegraph magazine gave a hopeful interpretation that Son Heung-min might be able to participate in the World Cup depending on the results of the surgery.
