Son Heung-min has been reinstated to the national team roster after returning from injury.

Head coach Hong Myung-bo held a press conference at the Shinseong-ro Soccer Hall in Seoul on Thursday to announce the 26-man roster for the mid-November trip to Kuwait and Palestine for the third Asian qualifier for the FIFA Confederations Cup. Son Heung-min, who was left out of the October call-up due to injury, was reinstated, while striker Hwang Hee-chan, who is recovering from injury, was left out.

Son Heung-min suffered a thigh injury during his club Tottenham's Europa League match in September and was left out of the October A-match squad, but after returning from injury and recording an assist in yesterday's league match, Hong Myung-bo deemed him fit enough to be included in the November squad.

In the front line, the team has three strikers in Lee In-gyu, Oh Se-hoon, 메이저사이트 and Oh Hyun-kyu. In the highly competitive midfield, Lee Kang-in, Bae Jun-ho, Hwang In-beom, and Jung Woo-young were selected. Four midfielders from K League Gimcheon, Kim Bong-soo (Hannover), Lee Hyun-joo (Hanover), Lee Tae-seok (Pohang) and Kim Kyung-min (Gwangju) made their first appearance for the national team.

The national team will play away matches against Kuwait and Palestine on the 14th and 19th of this month for the fifth and sixth rounds of the World Cup third qualifying round. Currently, the team is in first place in Group B with three wins, one draw, and 10 points, ahead of Jordan and Iraq.
