Ko Young-joon’s injury was more serious than expected.

A representative from the Pohang club said on the 21st, “Ko returned home on the 20th, stayed in Seoul for a day, and went to the hospital in the morning to check his injury status. The results showed a partial tear of the medial ligament in his right knee. He will need to recover for at least four weeks.”

The last time Ko went down with an injury was on the 19th. He was called up by coach Hwang Sun-hong to play in the second friendly against China as part of the U-24 national team, but suffered the injury in the ninth minute of the second half.

Go made a bold break into the penalty box and was brought down by Chinese fullback He Yufeng. In the process of falling, Chinese center back Wu Xiaochong strongly pressed his knee. While it could be argued that the incident was a result of a contested play, the intent was certainly suspect given China’s history of foul play in these two friendlies.

After complaining of extreme pain, Ko was unable to walk and was subbed off the field. A day after the game, 메이저사이트 it was reported that he was able to walk without any difficulty. Despite expectations that the injury was not serious, a medical examination revealed a partial tear of the medial ligament in his knee.

Go’s injury is a huge blow for Pohang. He was on pace for a career-high with six goals and one assist in 18 league games this season. He was the centerpiece of Pohang’s offense alongside Zeca and Baek Sung-dong. It’s a shame for both the player and the club that he was injured in the middle of a good run of form.

To make matters worse, Pohang’s first-team pool is not very deep. Go Young-jun, Shim Sang-min, Jung Jae-hee, Kim Jong-woo, and many others are recovering from injuries. Over the next month, Pohang is scheduled to play top teams like Ulsan Hyundai, Jeju United, and Jeonbuk Hyundai. Kim Ki-dong will have to make it through the month without 100% of his players.

Ko Young-jun 메이저토토사이트 also needs to recover well. He needs to make a full recovery and regain the momentum he lost to injury in order to qualify for the Hangzhou Asian Games in September.
