As Hwang Moon-ki (Gangwon FC) left due to injury, Kim Moon-hwan (Daejeon Hana Citizen) filled the position.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 8th, “Hwang Moon-ki suffered an injury to his left thigh. Therefore, Kim Moon-hwan has been selected as a substitute.”
Korea’s national men’s soccer team led by Coach Hong Myung-bo has suffered a negative injury. Team Hong is set to play the fifth and sixth rounds of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. This month. Team Korea will face Kuwait at the Jabeur Al-Ahmad International Stadium on Wednesday, and then meet Palestine at the Amman International Stadium on Wednesday.
Not long after the announcement of the list was made, the injured came out. Hwang Moon-ki, who is considered the best right-back in K League 1 this season, collapsed due to injury. Hwang Moon-ki has increased his position in the national team by being listed from the A-match list in September. However, the injury has put a brake on him.
Hong Myung-bo chose Kim Moon-hwan as his replacement card for Hwang. Kim Moon-hwan, who left Alduhail last summer and wore a Daejeon jersey, boosted his performance after returning to the K-League. He played an important role in the rebound of Daejeon, which had been in the relegation zone. Kim was previously included in the A-match list in September, but was eliminated due to an injury. Due to Hwang’s injury, he made the national team roster again. 메이저사이트
Meanwhile, “captain” Son Heung-min (Tottenham) has returned to the A-match roster for this November. Son was not able to join the national team due to his hamstring injury last month, but has recovered to some extent. Some players made the national team roster for the first time. Kim Kyung-min (Gwangju FC), Kim Bong-soo (Kim Cheon-sang-moo), Lee Tae-seok (Pohang Steelers), and Lee Hyun-joo (Hanover) wore the national team flag for the first time in their careers.
