Premier League: Antonio Conte expressed disappointment with the fans after Tottenham Hotspur defeat to Liverpool

As a result, he missed Sunday's 2-1 loss to Liverpool after having surgery on Friday.

He is also expected to miss next week's matches against Nottingham Forest and Leeds. However, his club boss provided a positive update before South Korea's Group H started against Uruguay on November 24.

Antonio Conte is convinced Son Heung-min will be healthy enough to represent South Korea at the upcoming World Cup.

He said, "I sent him a message yesterday after the surgery, and Sonny was really, really disappointed for this situation, but I hope for him he will recover very well and play in the World Cup."

"I was a player, and I know the importance of playing in the World Cup. Tonight he was the first person to play this game; for sure, he missed us. I am confident that he can come back quickly and play the World Cup for South Korea."

Son Heung-min is one of the essential players for Tottenham Hotspur. This season, he has started 19 matches across all competitions for the north London club, scoring five goals.

However, he is considerably been more critical of South Korea. Son Heung-min is a talismanic figure for his national side, scoring 35 goals in 104 games.

Antonio Conte was disappointed with boos after Liverpool's defeat

Even if Spurs improved in the second match, it was not enough to withstand Mohamed Salah and Liverpool.

Dejan Kulusevski's comeback from injury off the bench did provide a boost as Harry Kane scored for Spurs in the 70th minute after receiving a pass from him. 

However, Liverpool withstood the storm to earn the victory and stop a two-game losing streak in the Premier League; they are now seventh with 19 points after 13 games. The spurs dropped from 14 to 26th place.

Antonio Conte also reflected on the loss, although he was more disappointed by the fans' actions during halftime.

"First of all, I think we have to show a great respect all the time for our fans. They are our fans, and they pay their tickets," Antonio Conte said. "At the same time, if you ask me if I was a bit disappointed, yes. Yes, because it's important in every moment to be honest, and I think I always continue to repeat, we have just started a process."

Tottenham Hotspur earned only three points in their last four Premier League contests. Three costly defeats at the hands of Manchester United, Newcastle, and Liverpool, rivals for the European spots. After battling back from two goals behind at Bournemouth, the victory was a last-ditch effort.
