The defender Kim Min-jae (Napoli), who suffered a leg injury, devoted himself to recovery the day before the decisive match against Brazil.
The Korean national football team, led by coach Paulo Bento, trained at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha on the morning of the 4th (local time), the day before the round of 16 match between Brazil and Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The last training session before the match against Brazil. All 26 national players and Oh Hyeon-gyu (Suwon), who comes with them as a reserve member, took part in the training.
However, from the balance training held after warm-up, Kim Min-jae was ‘excluded’. Kim Min-jae, who started the first match against Uruguay and the second match against Ghana in the group stage, trained separately each time due to a muscle injury in her right calf suffered in the match against Uruguay.
He missed the last match against Portugal. Meanwhile, there was a change in the training content of Kim Min-jae, who had been riding alone while his colleagues were sweating. Kim Min-jae got off his bike and started running.
It wasn’t a sprint. But it wasn’t just a very slow pace at the warm-up level.
Bentuho only has a chance to win when he blocks top Brazilian strikers such as Hisharlisson (Tottenham), Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), and Rafinha (FC Barcelona).
As a result, attention is focused on whether Kim Min-jae will be able to play in the match against Brazil.
