South Korea manager Dick Advocaat has named his 23-man World Cup squad for this summer’s tournament.
The Koreans, semi-finalists four years ago on home soil, have been drawn alongside France, Switzerland and Togo in Group G.
“We think we have a very balanced squad and one that can surprise a lot of people in the world,” said Advocaat during his squad announcement.
“We are capable of at least the second round. We have players who have already played in the World Cup finals.”
