Returns for 36 minutes
Park (undisclosed) came off the bench for 36 minutes in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, confirming his return to full fitness after the knock he had been nursing with Zhejiang FC.
Analysis: Park had been a small doubt heading into the tournament despite being called up by South Korea, but his appearance against Trinidad puts any lingering concerns to rest. The midfielder is now available for coach Hong Myung-bo heading into South Korea's World Cup opener against Czechia on June 11 in Guadalajara, with his fitness no longer a concern after a promising pre-tournament cameo.
Nursing knock
Park (undisclosed) is nursing a knock with Zhejiang FC and is a small doubt heading into the World Cup despite being called up by South Korea, according to Ross Davis of Smartodds.
Analysis: Park is nursing a knock with his Chinese club while no specific details have been provided on the nature of the issue, but the concern is worth monitoring given the proximity of the tournament. Park's selection by the national team suggests the coaching staff are confident the knock will not prevent him from being available, though the club will continue to assess his condition over the coming days before providing any further clarity on his fitness ahead of the competition.
