Yang Min-hyuk, who was completely turned away from his team Portsmouth, finally got a golden opportunity to prove his value.

Yang Min-hyuk's future is at stake. If it doesn't meet expectations again this time, it might be sitting on the bench all season. This is why Yang Min-hyuk has to burn all his talents.

Yang Min-hyuk will finally make his debut in the English Championship (second division) game in Portsmouth. Portsmouth started Yang Min-hyuk as a striker in an away game against Ipswich Town in the seventh round of the 2025-2026 season championship at Portman Road in Ipswich, England, at 11 p.m. on the 27th (Korea time).




For Yang Min-hyuk, it is his first return to the starting lineup in six games. Yang Min-hyuk, who signed with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) last season, has not played in the EPL stage since joining in December last year. Then in January, he was loaned to the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and played well. He also made a strong impression during the pre-season.

However, Thomas Frank, who took the helm of Tottenham this season, sent Yang Min-hyuk back on loan to Portsmouth, saying he needed more experience.

Yang Min-hyuk had high expectations in Portsmouth. He played as a substitute in the opening game of the league against Oxford United and started in the first round of the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup). However, when he failed to impress in the match against Reading, his opportunity to play disappeared immediately. He has been benched for the last five consecutive league games.




In the process, there was skepticism about Yang Min-hyuk's ability. However, Portsmouth coach John Musinho and director Rich Hughes appeared to defend themselves from external criticism, saying, `Yang Min-hyuk needs more time.'

In the end, coach Mussinho gave Yang Min-hyuk a chance to start again in six games. Yang Min-hyuk played left winger in the 4-2-3-1 formation. Portsmouth made up the second line with Yang Min-hyuk Segechic Kosnovsky after putting Bishop in a one-top. Dozel and Le Roux then played central midfielders, and the four-back consisted of Ogilvy Full Knight Swanson. The goal was scored by Bursic Keeper.

Attention is focusing on whether Yang Min-hyuk will be able to turn the local question mark on his ability into an exclamation mark in the selection opportunity after a long time.
