South Korea coach opens door to Inbeom return, should be able to play against Venezuela | OneFootball

Robert Moreno says Inbeom Hwang should be able to feature against Venezuela after missing Monday's defeat to Uruguay.

According to O Jogo, the FC Porto midfielder was not even listed for the friendly with Ecuador, then again left out of the squad for the Uruguay game, which finished 4-1 to Uruguay.

He is not injured, only managing muscle fatigue, and medical staff advised against his involvement.

The coach said he believes Hwang should be able to face Venezuela in four days, calling it a chance to move on from what went wrong against Uruguay.

South Korea face Venezuela on Friday at 12:00 in mainland Portugal, then Uzbekistan at the same time on Tuesday, 6 October.

Hwang has been eased through training since joining the national team a week ago. He scored Porto's third in the 3-1 win over Benfica, and Moreno has stressed he will not risk players' fitness.
