Lee Dong-Gook makes Korea cut

Jeonbuk Motors striker Lee Dong-gook has been included in South Korea’s 23-man World Cup squad by coach Huh Jung-moo with Lee Keun-ho, Shin Hyung-min and Koo Ja-cheol missing out.

Former Middlesbrough frontman Lee Dong-gook is set to miss South Korea’s Group B opener against Greece due to a hamstring injury but has been included at the expense of Jubilo Iwata’s Lee Keun-ho after Huh was assured the 31-year-old would be fit to face Argentina and Nigeria.
