National striker Cho Kyu-sung (Mittwilan), who is rehabilitating from complications after undergoing knee surgery, is expected to delay his return to the field.

Danish professional soccer club Mittwilan announced on its website on Sunday (local time), “Kyu Sung Cho, who underwent knee surgery at the end of last season, has extended his rehabilitation period due to complications, making it difficult to estimate the exact timing of his return. It is expected that he will need more time in the coming months.”

“Cho Kyu-sung is focusing on rehabilitation alongside left fullback Paulinho, who recently underwent minor surgery,” the club added.

Jo joined Mittwilan from K League 1 side Jeonbuk Hyundai last July and established himself as a key attacker for the club, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists in 37 appearances in his debut season.

After the 2023-2024 Danish regular season, Cho opted to have surgery on his knee, which had been bothering him.

However, Mittwilan announced last month that “Cho Kyu-sung is suffering from complications after the surgery and his rehabilitation period is taking longer than expected,” and he has been out of action since the season opener.

The club announced today that Cho Kyu-sung’s rehabilitation period has become longer than expected, and his streak of absences has been extended.

The prolonged injury is also bad news for Hong Myung-baek, who are set to host the third Asian qualifier for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup in September.

On September 5, Hong Myung-bo’s men’s national team will begin their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America, starting with the first match of Group B of the third Asian qualifying round against Palestine at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

The absence of Cho Kyu-sung, who has served as the national team’s primary striker resource, is bound to put pressure on Hong Myung-baek as the team will need to field a full-strength squad. 카지노사이트
