Big news for the South Korean camp is the return of Tottenham Hotspurs forward Heung Min Son who has returned after his club’s defeat at the hands of Manchester United. The forward has been in scintillating form for his club and country and is one of the most instrumental figures in Paul Bento’s setup. He has taken part in a few training session but it will be interesting to see if he is deployed straight away into the firing line. Ki Sung-Yueng is back again to full fitness and would be available for the game which is a huge boost for the squad.

Striker Wu Lei is a proven goal scorer and he carries a threat for China going forward. AFC Asian Cup 2019 Points Table: Latest Group-Wise Team Standings of 17th Edition of Men’s Football Championship Tournament of Asia.
