Fortunately, news from the local area that Son Heung-min (Los Angeles FC), who was knocked down due to the opponent's non-manner tackle during the game, eventually showed bleeding ended with "Happening."

MLS Move, which delivers the news of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), said on the 3rd (Korea time), "Fortunately, Son Heung-min showed no bleeding at all. The red mark on the ankle turned out to be a sticker," he said.

Earlier, local media, including MLS Move, suspected bleeding when a red color was seen on the back of Son Heung-min's left ankle, which was signing autographs for fans after the 2026 MLS second round away game against Houston Daimo FC at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas on the 1st.

On the same day, Son Heung-min was kicked by Carlos in the left ankle area while competing with opposing center back António Carlos in extra time in the first half, and it was speculated that the bleeding may have occurred in the aftermath.

Even the size was not small, so there was a lot of concern in the local area. MLS Move said, "Son Heung-min seems to have been bleeding after being tackled that could lead to a Red Card," adding, "I agree that the red card had to come out right away."

However, as the red mark seen in the video at the time became known as a red sticker rather than blood, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. If it was a shock enough to show bleeding, it could have taken more time for treatment. Moreover, local concerns were inevitably high because it was an Achilles tendon that was inevitably sensitive to soccer players.

"It was a dangerous play and a reckless attempt," Los Angeles FC coach Mark dos Santos said in a post-match press conference at the time. Of course, Carlos was a great player and wasn't intentional, but as you can see from Son Heung-min's foot photo, it was a position that could have led to a major injury, he said. "It was a situation that could have been really dangerous even if it had been a little stronger."

At that time, Son Heung-min scored two assists in MLS standards, leading his team to a 2-0 complete victory. MLS also records the starting pass as an assist, which by other general league standards is one assist. Son Heung-min, who also had one assist in the MLS opening match against Inter Miami, accumulated assists for the second consecutive game of MLS opening. Including the CONCACAF Champions Cup, he has one goal and five assists (one goal and six assists based on MLS) in four games this season.

Son Heung-min will challenge his first goal of the season and three consecutive offensive points through the MLS third round home game against FC Dallas at 12:30 p.m. on the 8th.
