Last chance for South Korea second string to shine

Huh must reduce his squad to 23 players before the June 1st deadline and will make the final three cuts after the friendly in Kufstein, the Yonhap news agency reported from the team's training camp in the Austrian Alps.

"I will utilise the game as the last opportunity to review the capacity of my players even if it may not be recognised as an international A match," Huh told reporters.

Prolific domestically-based striker Lee "Lion King" Dong-gook, who was injured in the Ecuador match, is still a concern and is unlikely to feature, Huh said. "He is recovering at a moderate pace, but the medical team is cautious as his hamstring can be strained if he uses a sudden burst of speed," he added.
