Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean, who broke his several-month barren run without scoring in the Premier League against Crystal Palace, said to London newspaper 'Evening Standard' that his vision "is fine", but it is not what it was when he played without the mask.

"I can see well, but when the ball comes to me, sometimes it's strange, because I can barely see the ball because of the mask. I'm not really bothered by it, but it's not ideal", Son said.

"Against Aston Villa (when Tottenham lost 0-2), it was really annoying, because the ball was coming to me then, suddenly I lost it because I couldn't see. I was really angry", the South Korean added.

What is more, he claimed that the reason why he is still wearing the protective piece is because his parents are asking him to

"If it were up to me, I'd play without it, but my parents, my family and my friends are worried, because it's a risk if someone knocked into me again. My parents say I've got to play with it, they're worried. Also, the physios and doctors said to me after the Villa game that it was up to me, but that the recommended me to wear it because the risk is high and because there have only been seven weeks since the operation", Son said.
