Son Heung-min looks to restore his reputation after suffering in silence with a hernia injury

[Geez]

Finally, he is free of pain after the agony of last season when he suffered in silence despite needing surgery on a hernia, which he underwent last month.

'Really tough,' says Son, 31. 'The whole season in pain. In normal life, it felt fine but on the pitch, I was in pain for every single moment, literally. Every action, turning, passing, kicking, everything.

Explains a lot. Makes it even more galling that Conte played him every possible minute when he must have known there was a problem.

Why didn’t he just have an op? Little sense in playing someone through injury for an entire season at a below par level.

Especially when we had Danjuma who got fuck all chance really.

A fully fit Son in probably his last peak years is exactly what we need.

I'm really hoping Sonny hits top form again this season. I think he'll have something to prove after last season.

I was more inclined at the time to think it may have been a mental issue some sort of grievance that could have been sorted with a sports psychologist.

Hopefully we get our new improved Sonny back and banging.
