South Korea preview: Son set to make history
Having booked their 2026 World Cup spot, the South Korea national team will continue to fine-tune preparations towards the event, with clashes against Brazil and Paraguay this month serving as crucial tests for coach Myung Bo Hong’s troops.
Since switching allegiance from Germany, Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Jens Castrop has featured twice for the Tigers of Asia and will be eyeing a place in the starting XI for the clash with Brazil this weekend.
After drawing level with Cha Bum-kun and
Hong Myung-bo as South Korea’s most-capped players (136 caps) during the draw with Mexico last month, captain Heung-min Son will be eager to steer clear of the duo as the sole all-time appearance maker for the Tigers of Asia.
Predicted lineup: S. Kim (GK), M. Lee, T. Kim, M. Kim, H. Lee, Castrop, J. Kim, Park, Son, K. Lee & Oh.
Last five matches

Alisson Becker, who has started every game under Ancelotti, is unavailable this window after suffering an injury in Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Galatasaray.
Former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has a thigh injury and so misses out alongside Barcelona hitman Raphinha, who is nursing a hamstring injury, while Vinicius Jr. and his Real Madrid teammate Rodrygo both return to the squad after the September window absence.
