There is no such bad news. Hong Myung-bo Team irreplaceable midfielder Hwang In-beom (30, Feyenoord) was injured on the day of the announcement of the Korean national soccer team list.

Hwang In-beom started as a right midfielder in the 27th round of the "2025-2026 Netherlands Eredivisie" against Excelsior at Stadion Feyenoord in Rotterdam, Netherlands on the 16th (Korea time). However, he left the ground in the 44th minute of the first half due to a foot injury.

In the 40th minute of the first half, three opposing players pressed Hwang In-beom. In the process, Hwang was strongly stepped on the back of his right foot by a player and collapsed screaming. Hwang In-beom, who barely got up, left the ground after being helped by medical staff without putting his injured foot on the ground. Even while receiving treatment on the bench, he made a painful expression, causing concern.

Above all, this is the day when head coach Hong Myung-bo announces the list of national teams for the second consecutive A-match series in March. Hwang In-beom's departure from the national team's midfield is the biggest negative factor for Hong Myung-bo Team. The national team will play two consecutive European away games against Ivory Coast on the 28th and Austria on April 1.

Hwang In-beom had a hard time with injuries that began in the second half of last season. After being excluded from the A-match call-up in September due to a muscle injury in his left calf at the end of August last year, he was not listed on the call-up list in November due to a recurrence of a right hamstring injury in early November immediately after his return. There were also concerns that "the foam might have fallen off."

The gap in the midfield due to Hwang In-beom's departure from the Korean national team was too large. Without him, who was the core of the build-up and the link between offense and defense, head coach Hong Myung-bo had a hard time finding a combination of midfielders. Several players, including Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham City) and Jens Kastrov (Mönchengladbach), were used, but Hwang In-beom's role was simply irreplaceable.

Currently, the exact extent of Hwang In-beom's injury can be determined only when the results of the Feyenoord team's detailed examination are released. Attention is focusing on whether coach Hong Myung-bo's final choice will be included in the list of two consecutive away games in Europe in March, with Hwang In-beom, who has been hampered by repeated injury demons.
