The Korea Football Association announced that 4 players including Kwon Chang-hoon, Hwang In-beom, Jo Hyun-woo, and Dong-Jun Lee, and a staff member, a total of 5 people, were tested positive for Corona 19 from the soccer team training in Austria for the two evaluation matches.



All five were negative in the test just before the training call, but they were positive in the second test conducted the night before the Mexican War.



They were quarantined in their respective rooms according to the quarantine guidelines, and all of the rest of the squad, who were tested negative, were retested this afternoon.



The war between Mexico and Qatar on the 17th, scheduled for tomorrow morning, and the evaluation of Qatar became uncertain.



As soon as the results of the retest tonight or early tomorrow are available, the Football Association will consult with the Austrian and Mexican Football Associations locally to decide whether or not the game will be played.



[Lee Jeong-seop / Head of Public Relations Marketing, Korea Football Association: The approval and decision of the Austrian government is the most important factor.

(When the re-examination result comes out), we will decide whether or not the game is possible in consideration of various aspects.]



The national team tried to prevent infection, such as prohibiting going out of the hotel during this training period and using personal items thoroughly, but the training ground was not completely controlled by outsiders, so locals without masks were on the track right next to the training ground of the national team. Exercise was often noticeable.



As athletes do not wear masks during training, the possibility of further infection cannot be ruled out.
