Bad news for Luis Enrique. While Gonçalo Ramos left the Portugal team, reduced to 25 players before its quarterfinals of the Nations League against Denmark (Thursday in Copenhagen on Sunday in Lisbon), the PSG coach received bad news: Lee Kang-in injured an ankle with South Korea, Thursday in the World Cup qualifiers match (1-1).
The South Korean left-hander has plummeted in the hierarchy of the offensive players of the Red and Blue over the season, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué obviously share most minutes, but the Spanish coach continues to trust the former Valence player during meetings at least. Lee started at Rennes-Psg (1-4) between the two matches of the Champions League Eighth Tops against Liverpool and entered the last quarter of an hour against OM (3-1) last Sunday.
Back at PSG in crutches?
Lee Kang-in did not hold with the Taeguk warriors on Thursday on the field of Goyang, but took advantage of the injury of one of his teammates to enter the 38th minute and was directly decisive by launching Hwang Hee-Chan to the goal for the opening of the score (41st). The Omanais equalized in the 80th minute by Ali Al Busaidi. The PSG player then released in the 85th minute, in great suffering, and left the stadium in crutches.
The South Koreans led by his Heung-Min (and led by Hong Myung-Bo, the defender and captain of the semi-finalist team at the 2002 World Cup) were well left to compete in the “World Cup 26” in Canada, the United States and Mexico. They are first of their group in front of Iraq and Jordan, next opponent next Tuesday. The first two will be directly qualified.
