As the national soccer team has two matches ahead of the World Cup final qualifiers against Lebanon and Syria on the 27th and the 1st of next month, it is difficult for Son Heung-min, who is currently injured, to join.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte, who is a member of Son’s team, delivered the status of the injured players through the club’s website today (22nd).
Coach Conte said of Son Heung-min, “I can’t play yet” and “we have to wait longer”. He also explained, “Son Heung-min is recovering well,” but “we have to wait until the end of the match A break.”
Our soccer team, led by coach Paulo Bento, conducted European training and evaluations with K-League domestic players, and won 5-1 against Iceland on the 15th and 4-0 against Moldova on the 21st.
Foreign players such as Hwang Ui-jo (Bordeaux), Kim Min-jae (Fenerbahce), and Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) will also join the World Cup final qualifier.
Currently, Korea is in second place after Iran with 14 points in Group A of the final qualifying round, and is 8 points ahead of the third-placed United Arab Emirates.
The second place in the group will go directly to the Qatar World Cup finals in November this year.
