"I have the will to play as well."

Will Kim Do-young come back. Last year's KBO League MVP KIA Tigers Kim Do-young, who suffered a hamstring injury in the opening game of the regular season, will undergo a final inspection ahead of the actual game. There should be no special abnormalities in this examination to get the final OK sign.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho met with reporters ahead of the match against Gwangju SSG Landers on the 13th and said, `Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin will have to do a hospital check-up tomorrow (14th) and set a return date" he said. In addition to Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin, who are about to return, Kwak Do-kyu, who has elbow injuries, will also be examined on the same day. Kwak Do-gyu, who was diagnosed with flexor muscle damage during the first examination, goes to Seoul directly for a second examination at a related hospital, while Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin are examined in Gwangju.




In the case of Kim Do Young, it is actually the final inspection. Kim Do-young, who is currently working out at Hampyeong 2nd Army Stadium, is not feeling uncomfortable with his left hamstring, which was injured. Director Lee Bum-ho said, "(I am) fine." He said he was in good shape a few days after getting hurt, but he said he should be careful at the hospital, so he said "He's a young player, and he's a player who needs to continue to grow, so it's better for the team to come up after a perfect recovery." He explained, "I'm willing to play, but if I say it's perfectly okay, I'm going to return."

As he does not feel uncomfortable, if he is diagnosed with a 100% recovery in his hamstring during the final examination, he will now set the time to return to the game. In the case of Kim Sun-bin, he played until recently, but it took more than three weeks for Kim Do-young to leave. Director Lee Bum-ho said, `I'm ready for now. I will decide after looking at the final results of the examination, but I am thinking of having him play two to three games in the Futures League. If the examination says it's okay, you can be psychologically stableHe added that Kim Do-young is actually not feeling the ideal even if she runs. Kim Do-young has been running little by little since last week, checking her condition without strain on her thighs. Fortunately, the inconvenience has disappeared.

Kim Sun-bin has recently shown his willingness to return to the defense by playing defense training. When Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin return, KIA will also be able to breathe.
