Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said Son is “unlikely” to face Brighton and this morning the South Korean FA issued this statement: "We have decided that Son Heung-min, who injured his left thigh, needs rest. We have decided to exclude him from the national team squad for the sake of protecting the player."
South Korea were hoping to have their talisman available for World Cup qualifiers against Jordan and Iran during the upcoming international break.
New Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler is looking forward to facing Tottenham and their manager Postecoglou for the first time. Hurzeler suffered his first loss as Brighton manager last week after their 4-2 defeat at Chelsea.
