Tottenham captain Heung-min Son has urged South Korean fans to cut PSG star Kang-in Lee some slack.

Lee is being blamed for Son's dislocated finger injury suffered before the Asian Cup semifinal.

"Kang-in has done sincere soul-searching about his actions and offered a sincere apology to all the players on the national team, including myself," Son posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

"To prevent Kang-in from doing such a wrong behaviour again, all of our players, as seniors of the national team, will take special care from his side so that he can grow into a better person and player.

"Since that incident, Kang-in is going through a very difficult time. Please forgive him just once more with a generous heart."
