Masked crusader


Hard at work: South Korea’s Son Heung-min (right) and Kim Min-jae at a training session at the Al Egla Training Site 5 ahead of their Group H match against Uruguay today.

COACH Paulo Bento acknowledged there are hazards for last season’s Premier League joint top scorer Son Heung-min when he takes the field wearing a mask in the Group H opener against Uruguay.

Heung-min hasn’t played since fracturing his left eye socket on Nov 2 in a Champions League match playing for his English club Tottenham in a collision with Marseille player Chancel Mbemba.
