Isn't Poch very cautious with returning injured players? I mean we all thought Mason had just taken a knock and he's just now in contention to come back for Villa..

He is. Think about Walker coming back and how long he was given when our alternatives where Naughton and Kaboul!!!!
You can get injuries like Son's from changing exercise regimes/doing a higher intensity of training ( but I feel the regime was similar at BL) Possibly more due to the previous foot fracture?
There are special socks you can get that stretch your foot when sleeping instead of wearing a night splint.
He looked ok on 26th october walking about meeting those Korean kids.
May just be a simple as resting it, having hydrotherapy and having his boots/training shoes altered for either better fit or cushioning/support.
Before he joined us he had only missed 12 games in 3 seasons. All at Hamburg. 3/4 of those with a fractured foot.
In 2010 fractured foot, out for 75 days (9 games). A year later cold/flu, out 5 days (1 game). Month later ruptured ankle ligaments, out 15 days ( 1 game). A year later 2012, thigh strain, out for 5 days (1 game).
He comes to us and gets a foot injury within 4 games is out for 36 days already missing 5 games. However, similar story when he made his way into the team at Hamburg then broke his foot.
If he makes his return v Spam ( as I believe he will) he would have been out for 8 games and 57 days.

Korean head coach picked Son for the upcoming WCQ, said "We heard Son Heung-min is back to full strength with his club, and we expect him to get some action during the week at Europa League."
(2nd LD) Tottenham's Son Heung-min back on nat'l team for Nov. World Cup qualifiers
Maybe we'll even see a late cameo against Villa? Hopefully he'll come on with a healthy lead already on the books so that he can pad his goal tally.

Fuck me November WC qualifiers, haven't we had enough of this shit yet?
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous especially given how far Son has to travel. I actually wouldn't mind him 're-aggravating' his injury and then recovering just as the int'l break ends.
Where do l sign ?
would you miss serving in the Korean army?!
especially with crumpet like that !
What must be going through the mind of that chap on the left
would you miss serving in the Korean army?!
thats its not fair..the women get a choice of the dears leader's cum barrel or a gun barrel . all he gets is the gun barrel
He must be used to the travel by now. You never know, he may be looking forward to it. Lots of teammates that can talk the language etc. I'm still not sure if he can speak English? Is he comfortable with it or is he more like Ramos?
All those guns and they are all firing blanks!

Here comes the Son, here comes the Son
And I say it's all right

I get that "in contention" is Manager-Speak for 'probably won't play at the weekend, but may still be asked to wear a tracksuit and get off the team coach wearing massive headphones as IF he might play...'
But this can only be good for the near future if he is nearing full fitness...
If not this weekend, then surely after the International break... after all.... wouldn't wanna disrupt a winning combination at any rate!
