Last week, Heung-Min Son sustained a fracture in his left eye socket after a duel with Chancel Mbemba and was forced to undergo surgery.
In connection with the operation, it was highly unclear whether the South Korean would come to play in the World Cup in Qatar, which begins on November 20.
Now the Tottenham star gives happy news.
- There are so many children who dream of playing for their country in the World Cup, that's exactly how it was for me too.
I won't miss this.
I long to represent our beautiful country, see you soon, he writes on Instagram.
Several big stars have commented on the post, including Swedish teammate Dejan Kulusevski who writes a heart.
South Korea will face Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana and open against Uruguay on November 24.
