The 33-year-old, who played in their 3-1 win over Bahrain, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a training session ahead of their second game against Jordan on Saturday. We keep him in our thoughts and we fight for him," Klinsmann told reporters. South Korea midfielder Lee Jae-sung said the injury to one of their most senior players had motivated them to go deeper in the tournament. South Korea are in disciplinary trouble after five players were booked in their group opener, including skipper Son Heung-min and centre back Kim Min-jae. Klinsmann also confirmed Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Hwang Hee-chan is pain free and back in training after missing the first game due to injury.
