Selected with South Korea for the two matches with the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Oman (March 20) and Jordan (March 25), Kang Lee will probably not compete in the second meeting. While his country led 1-0 against Oman, the Paris Saint-Germain player was seriously injured in the ankle on the action which brought the opposing equalization. Carried by a teammate to get out of the field, Lee then left the stadium in crutches.
“He is injured in the ankle. I think I have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning to check what it is exactly. Lee Kang-in has advantages and disadvantages in attack and defense during the match, but he came into play because he needed a player to release him in a situation where the game was not fluid. It created a good situation. The game itself is positive, but I think we will have to wait to see if there are other injuries ”said Hong Myung-Bo coach after the match.
