LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop relieved himself. This is because Jang Hyun-sik, who was selected as the new closer, returned home early due to an unexpected ankle injury, but it was confirmed that it was not a major injury during a detailed examination.
Coach Yeom hoped to return to a certain state while setting the timing of Jang Hyun-sik's return to the opening game.
The news of Jang Hyun-sik's injury was reported on the 19th. LG club said on the 19th that Jang Hyun-sik tripped his right foot and sprained his right ankle while walking on the evening of the 16th local time. On the 18th, a nearby hospital examined the X-ray and received the results of the examination that there was no abnormality in the bone."
Jang Hyun-sik took a flight to Korea directly to know the exact condition, and underwent a detailed examination, including an MRI scan, on the 21st. Even if there is no abnormality in the bone, the results of the examination were important because the return may be delayed if the ligament damage is serious.
LG said on the 22nd "Jang Hyun-sik received a partial rupture of the ligament outside the right foot as a result of MRI and detailed examination on the 21st."According to the findings that gradual rehabilitation is possible after a week of stability, it is expected that it will take about four weeks to play catch and return from two weeks later." If LG's rehabilitation and training proceed as expected, it was not a major injury, meaning that it could be matched to the opening game on March 22.

Whether Jang Hyun-sik will join the opening game is likely to be decided in the exhibition game. Coach Yeom said, `I have to look at the situation, but if I come out and throw it in the second half of the exhibition game, it's possible to open the game, and if I don't appear in the exhibition game, I think it'll be delayed by about 10 days.'
Jang Hyun-sik's injury is minor, so even if his return is delayed, he can come about 10 days after the opening. If Jang Hyun-sik's return is delayed, a temporary finish is needed. Coach Yeom highly evaluated the possibility of first-round rookie Kim Young-woo in Arizona and still does.
Coach Yeom said, `I'm going to use Kim Young-woo as a temporary finishing touch through a practice game. There's potential for growth and it's not bad mentallyIt's important how you experience success. If you fail, you can pull it back. It will be a good experience."
