According to the Korean media "STN Sports", the South Korean team arrived in Baghdad, Iraq yesterday, and the whole team started its first training class at 9 o'clock last night local time.
During the training interval, South Korean team head coach Hong Mingfu was interviewed. When talking about Son Heung-min who was injured, he said: "I will not put too much pressure on him. I will discuss the next game with him."
It is reported that Jeon Jin-chan from Jeonbuk Hyundai may replace Son Heung-min. In response, Hong Mingfu said: "Jeonbuk Hyundai is the team with the most goals in the K League this season. I am confident in the performance of the players. They performed well in front of the goal, and they can also bring this feeling to the national team."
