AL RAYYAN, Qatar (Reuters) - South Korea captain Son Heung-min will need time to re-adapt following his return from surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye, head coach Paulo Bento said after they held Uruguay to a 0-0 draw in their World Cup opener on Thursday.

Son, playing in a black protective mask, spearheaded the South Korean attack but did not have much impact as they had six attempts at goal but none on target.
