South Korea aims for World Cup qualifier win against Jordan without star Son

koreatimes.co.kr

South Korea's national football team is preparing to face Jordan in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday, seeking to avenge a previous 2-0 loss in the Asian Cup semi-finals. This defeat led to significant changes in the team's management. New coach Hong Myung-bo will lead the team without star player Son Heung-min, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. His absence opens opportunities for other players, like Bae Jun-ho and Lee Kang-in, to step up. Currently, South Korea has four points in the qualifiers, tied with Jordan and Iraq at the top of Group B. The team aims to secure a win in Jordan before returning home to host Iraq next week.
