Bad news for Korea. The defender Kwak Tae-Hwi certainly will miss the 2010 World Cup, leaving the Taegeuk Warriors team without a very important part in the scheme of Mr. Huh Jung-Moo.
Kwak, 28, has injured his knee during Sunday's friendly against Belarus. Beyond the 0-1 defeat, that most Asians mourn defender is this low, normal owner and player of Japan Kyoto Sanga.
"Kwak need at least four weeks of recovery for his injured left knee ligaments," confirmed team spokesman South Korean Lee Won-Jae.
