The Korea Football Association said on the 15th, "As a result of discussions with the PSG club, Lee Kang-in has decided to join the Asian Games national team after his team's home match against Dortmund (Germany) in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) on the 19th local time." “A final agreement was reached last night,” he announced.

The association said, “Lee Kang-in is scheduled to move to Hangzhou, China on the 20th, French local time, to join the Asian Games national team.”

The Football Association, PSG, and Lee Kang-in have been discussing selection for the Asian Games, which are not competitions where teams are required to provide players.

As it is a competition where military service issues are at stake, it is known that Lee Kang-in's agreement to be selected for the Asian Games was already included in his contract with PSG, so there was no doubt that he would participate in the Asian Games, but the question was when he would join the national team.

Since it has been more than a year since Lee Kang-in worked with the national team of this age group, Hwang Seon-hong, the coach of the Asian Games national team, wanted him to join and adapt as early as possible.

Meanwhile, uncertainty arose as Lee Kang-in was unable to play in two consecutive international matches in September and also missed his team's games due to a left quadriceps injury from late last month.

Until the day before, PSG did not provide a clear position on the timing, raising doubts, but after discussions with the Football Association, a common ground was reached.

PSG is scheduled to play the French Ligue 1 home game against Nice at 4 a.m. on the 16th, Korean time.

According to what coach Hwang Seon-hong revealed to reporters the day before, it appears that Lee Kang-in will not play in this game.

Afterwards, the UCL group stage match against Dortmund, which the Football Association announced on the 19th, will continue at 4 a.m. on the 20th, Korean time.

If Lee Kang-in starts moving after this game, it is expected that he will arrive in China on the 21st.

Korea, which belongs to Group E of the Asian Games group stage, will play against Kuwait on the 19th, Thailand on the 21st, and Bahrain on the 24th at Jinhua Sports Center Stadium in Zhejiang Province, China.

Lee Kang-in's participation in the Asian Games is expected to be possible from the third game of the group stage at the earliest.

Considering time differences and other factors, it is highly likely that full operation will begin after the tournament.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who traveled directly from Europe to the Asian Games venue during the Jakarta-Palembang tournament five years ago, arrived two days before the first group game and started in the second game of the group stage.

Meanwhile, according to the Football Association, PSG requested an adjustment to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup selection schedule early next year as a precondition for sending Lee Kang-in to the Asian Games.

As the Asian Cup is also held while the season schedule is in full swing, PSG appears to have attempted to negotiate to minimize the gap caused by sending Lee Kang-in to both competitions.

The association said, "After receiving PSG's email containing this position on the 13th, we discussed with the club until the night of the 14th, and ultimately received an official response that allowed him to join the Asian Games national team without any preconditions."
