Hwang’s injury timing is one of the cruelest stories of Korea’s pre-tournament window. The team’s preferred No.6, the player around whom the rest of the midfield is built, has been ruled out for the season — which threatens his place in the final World Cup roster despite his importance.
If Hwang travels at less than full fitness — or doesn’t travel at all — Paik Seung-ho and the squad’s central-midfield depth take on much greater weight. Hong Myung-bo’s planning is one of the under-covered subplots heading into June.
Strengths
