South Korea’s Son Heung-min  has been included in the 26-man squad for this month’s World Cup. Head coach Paulo Bento included Son in his squad after the 30-year-old declared himself fit to feature for the Koreans, who will be making their 10th consecutive appearance at the World Cup.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 opening ceremony will take place on November 20 at 7pm IST.
