'Genius Midfielder' Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) trained normally ahead of the opening of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, raising the possibility of participating in the tournament.
The training video released by the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) club on its official SNS on the 14th (Korea time) showed Lee Kang-in training with teammates such as João Neves, Vitinha, Gonzalo Hamus and captain Marquignos of the 「European Nations League」.
Lee Kang-in may have had difficulty adjusting to the time difference and managing his condition due to the forced troops leading to Germany, Iraq, South Korea and the United States over the past two weeks, but he showed off his good physical condition by scoring with his right foot in his own mini-game.
Lee Kang-in, who lifted the trophy in the final of the 2024-2025 European Champions League held in Munich, Germany on the 1st, played full-time in both the second consecutive Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Iraq (2-0 wins) on the 6th and Kuwait (4-0 wins) on the 10th. After the match against Kuwait in Seoul, he immediately headed to the U.S., where the tournament will be held without a break.
Lee Kang-in's team, wearing a red vest, won the mini-game. Lee Kang-in left a 'victory shot' with Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kravatskhelia, and Warren Zaire-Emery.

PSG is expected to play in the first Group B match of the Club World Cup against Atletico Madrid at 4 a.m. on the 16th at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena.
PSG, which achieved the European treble in the 2024-2025 season, was in the same group as Atletico, Seattle Sounders and Botafogo. PSG is considered a strong favorite for this tournament, which features 32 teams. Lee Kang-in aims to win the Korean Club World Cup for the first time in 17 years since Park Ji-sung of Manchester United in 2008.
Lee Kang-in, who lost his starting position in the second half of last season, is rumored to be transferred to various teams such as Napoli and Al Nasr throughout this summer, but he plans to focus on the Club World Cup for now.
There is a possibility that Lee Kang-in will have a chance to play as Usman Dembele and winger Bradley Barcola are on a flight to the U.S. with injuries side by side.
