The South Korea international struggled with a hamstring issue earlier in the campaign and has cut a frustrated figure at times since his return, but Postecoglou backed the 32-year-old to return to his best ahead of Thursday’s Premier League trip to Bournemouth. “So, the answer is no, I don’t think so and I’d be wary about writing him off.” 14 appearances 13 starts Four goals Four assists Son had to be used through the middle in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Fulham after Dominic Solanke was sidelined on the morning of the match with illness. Postecoglou added: “He wanted to play on the weekend too but he couldn’t get out of his car, let alone run around pitch! “We’ve got another 24 hours to game time and I know how closely connected he feels with Bournemouth because it was his way back to having the career he wanted.
