2022 World Cup: South Korea handed double injury boost ahead of Ghana showdown

South Korea have been handed a huge injury boost as forward Hwang Hee-chan was spotted in training ahead of Ghana clash at the 2022 World Cup.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers striker missed South Korea’s opening Group H game against Uruguay due to fitness problems but is set to feature against the Black Stars at the Education City Stadium on Monday.

Hee-chan was joined by Lee Kang-in of Real Mallorca, who also missed the opener against the two-time world champions in training.

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.

Monday’s game will mark the 10th meeting between South Korea and Ghana in all competitions, with the last six yielding three wins apiece for both nations, but Ghana ran out convincing 4-0 winners during the most recent battle in a 2014 friendly.
