Lee Kang-in to Make Debut under Moreno in Uruguay Match... Son Heung-min and Oh Hyun-gyu Paired Up Front Again

Lee Kang-in (Atletico Madrid) is set to play his first match under the Moreno regime through the upcoming fixture against Uruguay.

The South Korean national football team, led by interim manager Robert Moreno, will play an international friendly against South American powerhouse Uruguay at 8:00 p.m. on the 28th at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Lee Kang-in has been included in the starting lineup announced about an hour before kickoff.

Lee was completely left off the match roster for recovery purposes during the match against Ecuador, which was the first of the four consecutive friendly matches.

Oh Hyun-gyu (Beşiktaş) and Son Heung-min (LAFC), who were responsible for the opening and additional goals against Ecuador, will step up once again as a two-man attacking duo in a 4-4-2 formation.

Lee Kang-in will play as the right winger and Hwang Hee-chan (Schalke) as the left winger, with Lee Jae-sung (Mainz) and Kim Bong-soo (Daejeon) positioned in midfield.

The back four defensive line is formed by Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Han-beom (Club Brugge), Lee Tae-seok (Austria Wien), and Seol Young-woo (Augsburg), while Kim Seung-gyu (Tokyo) wears the goalkeeper gloves.

Darwin Nunez (Al-Duhail) will play as Uruguay's frontline striker.
