SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea will hope Son Heung-min can carry his goal-scoring form at club level into next month's World Cup qualifier against Qatar but coach Uli Stielike has warned against expecting too much from the Tottenham Hotspur forward.

Son, who scored 21 goals for Spurs in all competitions this season, was named in Stielike's 24-man squad for their June 13 qualifier in Doha, a match the Koreans must win to revive their stuttering 2018 qualifying campaign.
