Thomas Frank confirmed that Solank has not fully recovered and will miss the preseason against Newcastle in Seoul this Sunday.
The striker has missed the last two friendly matches, but the coach said there is no need to worry too much. In an interview in South Korea on Saturday morning, Frank said: "It's a pity that Sorank has not reached the game state and his recovery progress is slightly slower than expected. Once again, he emphasized that there is no need to worry too much, but he is sure to miss the game against Newcastle."
"The other players are in good condition. Although they are inevitably tired after going through the game with Arsenal and a long journey, all the players are in good health at present."
Speaking of Madison's comeback in the game against Arsenal, Frank expressed great satisfaction. The midfielder made his debut at the end of the game, his debut since the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals against Bord Shining a knee injury.
Frank said: "Madison's return is of great significance. He is obviously our core player. It is very positive to get some playing time."
At the pre-match press conference, when asked about the meritorious player Son Heung-min who announced his departure, Frank confirmed that the captain who had played for ten years will start at the Seoul World Cup Stadium and wears an armband: "This is very clear. Son Heung-min will start tomorrow and lead the team. If this is really his farewell battle, it will be a perfect ending at home in the motherland."
