Korea midfielder returns to training

South Korea midfielder Kim Nam-il, who is recovering from an ankle injury, has returned to training - but was restricted to stretching alone.

Kim, who picked up the injury in the second round victory over the Italians and played only the first half against Spain, missed training on Sunday and Monday.

Striker Ahn Jung-hwan also rejoined training after missing out on Sunday to rest an ankle strain he picked up in the quarter-final win over Spain.

"I don't know if he (Ahn) will play tomorrow or not, but if he does, I expect him to put on a good performance," said captain and defender Hong Myung-bo.
