Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who shot his third goal of the season in his return match for injury, re-routed Hong Myung-bo in two months.
Son Heung-min, who missed two straight A matches in October against Jordan and Iraq due to a hamstring injury against Karabakh in September, was re-listed in the final list of November announced by A national team coach Hong Myung-bo at 11 a.m. on the 4th at the Seoul Shinmun-ro Football Center.
Son Heung-min started in the 10th round home game of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, early on the day of the list's announcement and showed light movement. In the fourth minute of the second half, he helped Brennan Johnson's equalizer to lay the groundwork for a 4-1 come-from-behind victory, and was replaced by Hishalisson in the 11th minute as protection.
Coach Hong is believed to have included Son Heung-min, who has missed the past three games due to injury, back on the list after judging that he successfully returned.

Son Heung-min, who currently has 49 goals in 131 A matches, will tie for third place in his career in the national team along with Lee Woon-jae (133 matches), and if he scores one goal, he will tie for second place in his career in scoring with Hwang Sun-hong (50 goals). Son Heung-min has five goals in six matches in this World Cup qualifying round.
Hong Myung-bo, who is trying to advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th time in a row, will play two consecutive games in the Middle East this month. After playing the fifth match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Kuwait in Kuwait City, Kuwait on the 14th, they will move to Amman, Jordan, where they will play the sixth match against Palestine on the 19th. South Korea, which leads Group B with three wins and one draw (10 points) in the previous four games, can effectively win a ticket to the finals if it wins the two consecutive games.
