The 26-year-old has played in various age categories for his nation and has represented the senior team on 74 occasions after earning his debut cap in 2010 against Syria. The former Bayer Leverkusen star has already played in two Asian Cups till date.
He was part of the squad which reached the semi-finals in 2011 and ended as runners-up in 2015. It has been a tough pill to swallow for the Korean International who is looking to take this tournament by storm this time to clear the hurdle and lift the trophy.
It is also understood that Son will miss the first two games of the group stages against the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan due to an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur which was signed beforehand. However, he is expected to feature against China on January 16.
