Another injury setback has struck Coach Kim Eun-jung's squad as it prepares for the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics.

The Korea Football Association announced on the 12th that U-21 national team strikers Jeon Min-gyu (Seongnam) and Ha Jung-woo (SuwonFC) were excluded from the call-up due to injuries. Defenders Lee Gun-hee (Suwon) and Park Sang-hyun (Gimpo) were selected as replacements to fill the vacancies.

This is the third injury withdrawal during this call-up period. Previously, on the 10th, striker Kim Min-su of Scotland's Rangers withdrew due to injury, and Kim Gyeol (Suwon) joined as a replacement player.

Continuing its preparations amid injury uncertainties, Coach Kim Eun-jung's team will play two friendly matches against Mexico during the November international match window. The first match will be held in closed doors at Cheonan Korea Football Park on the 14th, while the second match will proceed as an official friendly at Cheonan Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 17th.

This series of matches against Mexico marks the team's first game before domestic fans since Coach Kim Eun-jung took office in May.
