2022 World Cup: South Korea defender Kim Min-jae major doubt for Ghana clash

South Korea are sweating over the fitness of one their key players ahead of their second Group game against Ghana.

Veteran defender Kim Min-Jae picked a knock during Korea’s opening game against Uruguay and has since not train with the team.

“I’m not sure because it’s my first muscle injury, but I don’t think it’s serious,” he said after the game.

His absence will be huge blow for coach Paulo Bento, who will have to rely on Kwon Kyung-won of Gamba Osaka to replace the Napoli star.

“Kim Min-jae has digested the European Champions League (UCL) and has an injury.  I will watch and watch the schedule,” Korea boss Bento said.

The two nations will lock horns at the Education City Stadium on Monday.

The Black Stars fell to an agonising 3-2 defeat to Portugal on the opening day, while their Asian counterparts impressively held Uruguay to a goalless draw
