Son Joon-ho (Shandong Taishan)’s call-up was canceled, but he is still on the list. As Kwon Kyung-won (Gamba Osaka) was injured, there was a substitute.
The Korea Football Association said on the 12th, “Kwon Kyung-won was excluded from the call-up list due to an ankle ligament injury during the J-League match on Wednesday,” adding, “Son Joon-ho will continue to be included in the list and replace Jung Seung-hyun (Ulsan Hyundai), Park Kyu-hyun (Dinamo Dresden), and Moon Sun-min (Jeonbuk Hyundai).”
Kwon Kyung-won played in the second round of the Emperor’s Cup between Gamba Osaka and Coach United on the 7th, but was replaced by 메이저놀이터 Yuta Sato due to an injury in the 17th minute of the first half.
Kwon Kyung-won is out due to injury and Jung Seung-hyun replaces the position.
Son Joon-ho was detained by Chinese police last month, making it impossible to convene, but coach Jürgen Klinsmann has called him in a symbolic sense, saying, “I support Son Joon-ho.”
On top of that, Klinsmann added striker Moon Sun-min and defender Park Kyu-hyun.
Park Kyu-hyun was selected for the A team for the first time in his life. He is a defender who has played in the national team by age, and can be seen at both center and fullbacks, and is currently growing in the German lower league.
Park Kyu-hyun was originally scheduled to be called up to the Asian Games national team led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong and go to China, but will be called up to Busan, not China. There is no alternative selection for the Asian Games national team.
Meanwhile, the Klinsmann team will start its first training session for the A match in June at Gudeok Stadium in Busan at 4 p.m. on the 12th.
