Paulo Bento, coach of the Korean men’s soccer team, announced the list of players who will play in the September A match against Costa Rica and Cameroon at the Jongno-gu Soccer Center in Seoul on the morning of the 13th.
Kang-in Lee, who plays an active role in the Spanish La Liga by increasing attacking points in four consecutive games this season, was selected by manager Bento and was included in the list of 26 squads.
It is the first time in a year and six months that Lee Kang-in has returned to Serie A since the evaluation match against Japan (defeat 0-3) in March last year.
After making his international debut in a friendly against Georgia in September 2019, Lee Kang-in was on the roster until the game in Japan, but has since drifted away from the idea of Bento.
Bentuho will play a evaluation match against Costa Rica at the Goyang Sports Complex at 20:00 on the 23rd, followed by a evaluation match against Cameroon at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 20:00 on the 27th.
After that, after confirming the final list, we plan to hold an evaluation match in November and leave for Qatar, ‘the decisive stage of the battle’.
Korea were in Group H of the group stage with Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana at the Qatar World Cup.
