Returns to full training
Bae (ankle) has returned to full training with the South Korea squad, according to Steve Han.
Analysis: Bae missed the opening group stage fixture against the Czech Republic due to the ankle issue, making his return to full training an encouraging development heading into the remaining group stage matches. His availability gives coach Hong Myung-bo additional options in the attacking midfield zone, with the youngster potentially providing offensive threat off the bench or pushing for a starting role depending on how he responds in the coming sessions.
Set to miss opener
Bae (ankle) has little chances of taking part in South Korea's World Cup opener versus Czechia, Bibim Ballers reports.
Analysis: Bae has been in and out of the national team's starting lineup, and his potential absence will limit the side's capacity to rotate in the attacking midfield zone. On the other hand, players such as Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-Min should continue to be heavily involved, and that could be the case even after Bae fulfills his recovery. The youngster may still have opportunities to play later in the competition, perhaps adding offensive threat off the bench.
