Son to lead South Korea against Uruguay and Panama

Tottenham Star Son Heung-min will lead South Korea at home against Uruguay in a friendly on October 12 and again against Panama on October 16. Despite speculation in the local media, there was no place for young players such as Lee Kang-in of Valencia and Bayern Munich's Jeong Woo-Yeong. Bento said the door was open as he focuses on the 2019 Asian Cup. "They are certainly the players that we have to watch," Bento said. "But we have an important tournament in January, so I thought we should focus on that."
