Al-Shabab, a member of Kim Seung-gyu's team, reported Kim Seung-gyu's injury on its official channel on the 3rd (Korea time). Kim suffered a cruciate ligament rupture.
It was on the 25th of last month that Kim Seung-gyu collapsed. Kim Seung-gyu started against Al Orova. Just before the end of the first half, Kim Seung-gyu turned his back on the ball to make it owned by Al Shabab. At this time, Alova rushed to Kim Seung-gyu to regain ownership of the ball, and a strong shock was applied to the back of Kim Seung-gyu's knee. Kim Seung-gyu collapsed as it was and was replaced without being able to stand up anymore.
Since then, Kim has not played al-Shabab. According to local news in Saudi Arabia, the possibility of Kim Seung-gyu's cruciate ligament rupture was raised. Saudi media Aliyadh "Kim Seung-gyu was injured in the same area as before. As a result of Kim Seung-gyu's examination on the 30th, it was confirmed that bleeding occurred in his knee. Amid high concerns among medical staff about the cruciate ligament rupture, a re-test will be conducted to confirm the exact extent of the injury.'

It's a ridiculous ordeal. Kim Seung-gyu, the main goalkeeper of the South Korean national team, suffered a cruciate ligament rupture during training at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. The cruciate ligament rupture injury was rehabilitated after surgery and

Some of the players who returned from a ruptured cruciate ligament often fail to recover their skills before the injury. Kim Seung-gyu returned from his injury faster than expected after overcoming difficult rehabilitation. He returned at the end of August and began playing again as a key player for Al Shabab.
When Kim Seung-gyu returned from injury, South Korean national team coach Hong Myung-bo also convened Kim Seung-gyu again. In two A-match games in October, he was waiting to play on the bench. Cho Hyun-woo showed a stable performance, but it was not strange when Kim Seung-gyu came back to the starting lineup. Cho Hyun-woo has excellent defense, but Kim Seung-gyu is superior to Cho Hyun-woo in the build-up. There was no reason to overdo the schedule after returning from a major injury such as a cruciate ligament rupture.

Goalkeepers have a longer heyday than field players and have a longer career, but Kim Seung-gyu was born in 1990 and is 34 years old. It's definitely not a small age. It is a worrisome injury.
Coach Hong Myung-bo also needs to find a player to replace Kim Seung-gyu. It is necessary to select new players to compete with Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan Hyundai) and Kim Jun-hong (Jeonbuk Hyundai).
