Tottenham Son Heung-min, who recorded his third assist of the season in his return match, is back on board the Hong Myung-bo.

He was excluded from last month's A-match due to a thigh injury, but he made a successful comeback and wore the captain's armband again this time.

However, it is difficult to guarantee whether it will be able to digest it for a long time as before.

Son Heung-min made a surprise replacement 56 minutes after scoring an assist at home against Aston Villa.

Coach Hong Myung-bo decided to consider how to use the A-match after looking at his performance for the rest of the year as he is not sure that Son Heung-min's physical condition is 100%.

It means that 'Plan B' may work following October.

Hwang Hee-chan, who has yet to recover from his injury, has been excluded this time.

Instead, Stoke City's Bae Jun-ho, who scored help in the October A-match and revitalized the national team's offense,

He is expected to lead the attack with 'next-generation ace' Lee Kang-in.

This time, a total of four people were selected for the first time, including Pohang defender Lee Tae-seok, the son of Lee Eul-yong, a member of the 2002 World Cup semifinals.

The intention is to give some wind of generational change to the defense of the national team led by Kim Min-jae.
