Son hurt finger in teammate row over ping pong

Tottenham Hotspur and South Korea captain Son Heung-Min injured his finger in an altercation with teammates on the eve of the country’s exit from the Asian Cup.

The players quarreled during a team dinner ahead of their 2-0 semifinal defeat by Jordan last week, which extended their 64-year wait for another Asian Cup title.

“It happened when some young players went up to play table tennis, and Son Heung-Min and other older players took issue with it,” a South Korean Football Federation official told Yonhap News Agency on Wednesday.

“The players exchanged a few words and Son hurt his finger in the process.”

The Korean Football Association were not immediately available for comment regarding the incident.
