Park Yong-woo seriously injured his knee in the first half of the match against Al Ain and Al Ahli at Alashid Stadium in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 26th (Korea time). Park Yong-woo, who ran fast toward the ball and collided with the opponent and hit his left knee hard, was in pain and could not get up for a long time. He was replaced by Yahya Ben Callech in the 18th minute of the first half after being checked by the medical staff while slumping on the ground.
Along with reports that Park Yong-woo left the stadium on crutches, local media are also reporting the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament. In the case of cruciate ligament surgery, it is expected that it will be difficult to operate Hong Myung-bo's defensive midfielders as it takes more than six months to rehabilitate. It will be difficult to join the national team during the A-match period in October.

Brazil and Paraguay will play in October's friendly matches. Paraguay is evaluated as a slightly lower power than the United States and Mexico, but Brazil is still 'Extreme'. He will visit Korea again for the first time in three years and four months since the warm-up match in June 2022. South Korea lost to Brazil 1-5 at the time, and also lost 1-4 in the round of 16 at the 2022 Qatar Games.
