It is still unclear whether Kim Min-jae will appear in the third round of the group stage.
On the other hand, Hwang Hee-chan, who has been absent due to injury, is also expected to step on the ground for the first time in this tournament.

Kim Min-jae, who moved to Naples, the ‘famous defense house’, and confidently took the starting position with his monstrous performance.
He was the first Asian player to be selected as the Serie A Player of the Month for his post-Asian level physical, accurate long pass and build-up.
However, is it because of accumulated fatigue from consecutive starts in the league and Champions League matches?
In the first game against Uruguay, he slipped and injured his calf while chasing Núñez.
Despite being injured, he was listed on the starting list for the second game against Ghana, but eventually collapsed during the second half of the substitution.
As defensive core Kim Min-jae’s appearance became unclear, the national team was in an emergency.
There are ways to include Kwon Kyung-won, who has a similar style, or change to a three-back match like Iceland and the evaluation match, but Kim Min-jae’s gap is fatal before the match against Portugal, which he must win.
Fortunately, as Kim Min-jae comes to training, the national team is in an atmosphere of taking a breather.
In the midst of this, Hwang Hee-chan, who missed both the first and second games due to a thigh injury, participated in training normally and started warming up for the first sortie.
With bull-like breakthrough power and destructive power that shakes the opponent’s gate, expectations are raised against the championship candidate.

Attention is focusing on the 3rd game whether our national team, which needs to win unconditionally, will overcome the accumulated bad news of injured players and produce another great match.
