On November 12, the head coach of the South Korean team Paul Bento announced the 26-man roster to go to the Qatar World Cup. South Korea's top star Sun Heung-min, who had surgery due to eye injury, is on the list. His youngest son, Jun-ho, who is now playing for Shandong Taishan team, was also successfully selected. He has also become the second foreign player in the active Chinese Super League after Shanghai Shenhua foreign player Basogo .
Sun Heung-min was injured in the last round of the Champions League group stage on November 2, Tottenham against Marseille. He was hit by Marseille player Mbumba while fighting for the header. After the game, Son Heung-min underwent surgery, and the medical team successfully repaired his left eye orbit and zygomatic bones and fractured his total fractures. Although the operation is very successful, it is strictly speaking that it still needs at least 3 weeks to recover. However, Son Heung-min obviously does not want to miss this World Cup. For the South Korean team, the lack of Son Heung-min will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in the team's strength. Therefore, it is not surprising that Son Heung-min was selected for the 26ers list with an injury. However, during the World Cup, the South Korean star is likely to need to wear a mask to play.
South Korea foreign aid Sun Junhao from Shandong Taishan team appeared as a substitute in the warm-up match between South Korea and Iceland team on the 11th, withstood the test of the coaching staff and was successfully selected. His selection also means that Shandong Taishan Club will receive at least US$200,000 in FIFA subsidy funds, just like Shanghai Shenhua.
In comparison, another "old acquaintance" of the Chinese Super League Park Ji-soo was unlucky. He was injured in the warm-up match between the South Korean team and the Iceland team on the evening of the 11th, so he unfortunately missed the trip to Qatar.
