[Anchor] The national soccer team led by coach Hong Myung-bo just announced the roster for this month's A-match. Son Heung-min, who was not called up in the last call-up, is included in this roster. We'll connect with a reporter to check the details. Reporter Yang Si-chang, Son Heung-min is included this time? [Reporter] Yes, coach Hong Myung-bo just announced the roster for this month's A-match. As you said, captain Son Heung-min is included in the national team this time. Son Heung-min was out of the national team for two A-matches last month due to a hamstring injury in his team Tottenham's Europa League match against Qarabag. After that, he appeared in the English professional soccer match against West Ham and scored a goal, showing good form, but the injury did not fully recover, so he was unable to play on the field for about two weeks. However, he showed signs of recovery from his injury, recording his third assist of the season in the match against his team Tottenham this morning. He was called by Coach Hong ahead of two away games against Kuwait and Palestine. The two teams are in the bottom of the group with 3 draws, 1 loss and 2 draws, 2 losses, respectively, in the same Group B as Korea in the third round of the World Cup qualifiers. However, since it is a difficult away game in the Middle East, and there is a rematch with Palestine, where Hong Myung-bo suffered a draw in his first match, he cannot let his guard down. This is why Coach Hong has brought Son Heung-min back to the national team. Coach Hong also revealed his plan to adjust Son Heung-min’s playing time in order to manage his injury. [Hong Myung-bo / National Football Team Coach: We are maintaining the basic structure of the national team while bringing in new players and future resources. As you all know yesterday, we all confirmed that Son Heung-min played in the game and returned to the pitch. However, I think our team will also have to keep a close eye on Son Heung-min’s playing time.] [Anchor] There are new players on the national team this time too? [Reporter] As you heard earlier, Coach Hong explained that he selected new players and future resources while maintaining the basic framework. Let's look at the graphic. The attack line includes Oh Hyun-gyu, Joo Min-gyu, and Oh Se-hoon. In the midfield, existing key players such as Son Heung-min, Lee Jae-sung, and Lee Kang-in were selected, and notable players are Kim Bong-soo from Gimcheon and Lee Hyun-joo from Hannover, who are wearing the Taegeuk mark for the first time in their lives. The defense line is similar. Kim Min-jae, Jo Yu-min, and Jeong Seung-hyeon were selected as they were. Existing fullbacks such as Seol Young-woo and Lee Myeong-jae were also selected, and Lee Tae-seok, the son of former national team member Lee Eul-yong, is wearing the Taegeuk mark for the first time as a fullback. Since Coach Hong has revealed that he is concerned about the fullback resources, it will be interesting to see if Lee Tae-seok gets the opportunity in this national team call-up. The 26 national team players selected this time will play against Kuwait and Palestine on the 14th and 19th, respectively. Since these two matches are the last A-matches of the year, let's look forward to wrapping up the A-match schedule with two pleasant wins in a row at the World Cup.
