Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan), a handsome striker at Korea University, has finished preparing to return to the ground for the first time in a year and three months.
Mitwillan announced on its official channel on the 14th (Korea time) that No. 10 Cho Kyu-sung was included in the second round of the third qualifying round of the European Europa League (UEL) in the 2025-2026 season against Fredrikstad at MCH Arena, Mitwillan's home stadium.
The club must win against Norwegian Cup winner Fredrikstad. To this end, the following players were included in the squad. It is notable that the South Korean national team striker has returned to the squad for the first time since May 2024,' he said.
Cho Kyu-sung failed to return to the ground after playing full-time in the 10th game of the Danish Superliga Championship Round against Silkeborg (3-3 draw) in May 2024.

After completing the 2023-2024 season, he underwent knee meniscus surgery, which has been plagued for a long time.
Although it was considered a mild operation, subsequent surgical complications occurred and the return period was longer than expected. I focused on rehabilitation with the entire 2024-2025 season flying, and I was only able to return to the team this summer.
Cho Kyu-sung, who turned into orange sports hair reminiscent of Kang Baek-ho, the main character of the famous basketball cartoon Slam Dunk, recently showed a signal that his return was imminent by trying to shoot and sprinting in team training.
Mitwillan will advance to the playoffs if he wins 3-1 in the away game of the first game against Fredrikstad and draws in the second game at 1 a.m. on the 15th.

Coach Thomas Tomasberg Mitwillan is expected to gradually increase Cho Kyu-sung's playing time, starting with the match against Fredrikstad, as there is no need to overdo it to win. Jo Kyu-sung, who joined Meat Willan in 2023, successfully settled on the European stage with 13 goals, including the Cup, in the 2023-2024 season.
Cho Kyu-sung's successful return is good news for Hong Myung-bo, who entered the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup finals mode. Coach Hong Myung-bo of the national soccer team is testing various strikers such as Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon), Oh Se-hoon (Machida Zelvia), Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk) and Lee Ho-jae (Pohang) without a firm one-top striker. Cho Kyu-sung, who has emerged as a surprise star through the 2022 Qatar World Cup, has scored nine goals in 39 A matches so far.
Lee Han-beom, a national college center back who took over the position of Mitwillan's main center back along with Cho Kyu-sung, is also included in the entry and is set to start the game.
