Heung-min’s son wears a mask, can sortie against Uruguay… Hwang Hee-chan is absent
[앵커]
Son Heung-min, the captain of the national football team, will be able to play in the first leg of the group stage against Uruguay.
However, Hwang Hee-chan, the axis of the attack, could not recover from a leg muscle injury, so the national team had great concern.

Coach Paulo Bento said in an official press conference held before the first leg of the group stage against Uruguay that Son Heung-min could play.
He also added that Son Heung-min is used to wearing a mask and is well integrated into team training.
After joining the national team, Son Heung-min spent almost all the training and strongly expressed his will to participate in the game.
<손흥민 / 축구대표팀 주장> “I don’t think there’s a big problem in terms of running. If I can give the fans even a little bit of hope, I think I have to take that level of risk.”
Son Heung-min’s friend of the same age and the national team’s starting fullback Kim Jin-soo also completely ruled out the muscle injury and was ordered to stand aside.
<김진수 / 축구대표팀 수비수> “As an Asian country, I believe we have hope for a Saudi Arabia victory. I think all that remains is to prepare, go out into the stadium and win, as many people want. “
Bento did not say whether he would use both players as starters or substitutes.
The news of the recovery of the health of the two players who have a huge presence on the team is definitely good news.
However, it is unfortunate that Hwang Hee-chan, one of the main strikers, could not play against Uruguay because he could not recover from a leg muscle injury.
Attention is focused on who Bento will choose instead of Hwang Hee-chan, who will shake up Uruguay’s defense by swapping places with Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min’s dramatic return from injury has just started a cinematic World Cup.
