Free Agent
Option from bench
Tae-Hyeon (ankle) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Mexico.
ANALYSIS
Tae-Hyeon was back in full training this week, and that has led to his retrun Thursday, as the defender is named to the bench. After not featuring at all in the opener, he will look to see the field to test his legs, as he was originally set to miss the group stage. He will now push for starting time in future matches following his return.
