Son Heung-min assured South Korea fans that he will be able to play at the World Cup.
During Spurs' win at Marseille on 1 November, the 30-year-old suffered a fractured eye.
He had surgery on Friday and didn't play in the Spurs' loss to the Reds.
I'll be here for the world. Son wrote that he couldn't wait to represent the country.
I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your support over the last week.
I have read many of them and appreciated you all. I got a lot of strength from you.
It was one of my dreams to play for my country at the World Cup as a child.
South Korea will play its first game in the World Cup on November 24. Group H has Portugal andGhana.
Son won the golden boot last season but has only scored five goals in 19 games this season for Spurs.
Son is still a key player in the squad. Even before Son's message on social media, the Spurs manager remained confident.
"Sonny was really, really disappointed for this situation, but I hope for him that he will recover and play in the World Cup."
He can return quickly and play for South Korea in the World Cup.
