Chu Hyo-joo (21, Suwon City Corporation), who is expected to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics Asian final qualifier playoffs, was excluded from the convocation due to injury, and Jang Chang (25, Seoul City Hall) was selected instead.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 15th that “Chu Hyo-ju is excluded from the list of convocation training due to a fatigue fracture on the left foot, and Jang Chang will join.”
This is the news of the injury that is unfortunate both for the individual and for the national team. Choo Hyo-joo is receiving great expectations from Korean women’s soccer to the extent that he received the Women’s Young Player Award from the Korea Football Association last year.
Choo Hyo-joo was the only college student to participate in the “2019 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship” held in Busan in December 2019 after being the first to board national team A after receiving the eye stamp of coach Collin Bell last November. Last year, he was constantly called to convene the national team.
After the first leg of a special match against the U-20 national team in October of last year, Bell praised him for saying, “Chou Hyo-ju is a player who is not only excellent in one-on-one ability, but also full of confidence.”
However, the fatigue fracture injury that continued since November of last year did not recover, so he was eventually removed from the convocation list.
The women’s soccer team led by Bell will conduct convocation training in Gangjin and Seogwipo from the 18th to the 18th to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics playoffs against China in Seogwipo on February 19 and Suzhou, China on the 24th.
As the first Korean women’s football to challenge for the Olympics, veteran chieftain Kim Jeong-mi, Kim Hye-ri, Lee Min-ah, Jang Seul-gi (ideally, Incheon Hyundai Steel), Yeo Min-ji (Suwon City Corporation), and Park Ye-eun (Gyeongju Hansuwon), etc. I am going to fit it.
