Moreno names 26 for Doha: Kim Min-jae, Hwang In-beom recalled

📰 Interim boss Robert Moreno has brought back all three of the '96 generation' players caught up in retirement talk for November's two Middle East friendlies. 📌 Key points 📋 Moreno named a 26-man squad for the November internationals on 29 October. 🤝 Kim Min-jae, Hwang In-beom and Hwang Hee-chan are all included. ©️ Son Heung-min stays on as captain. 🏟️ Both games, against Saudi Arabia and Qatar, will be played in Doha. ⏳ Moreno's contract ends in late November, so these games matter for his future. 📝 What happened 🎙️ Moreno revealed the squad at a press conference at Korea Football Park in Cheonan on 29 October. Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-jae, Lee Jae-sung and Oh Hyeon-gyu all made the list. 🔥 After the October camp, rumours of retirement for Kim, Hwang In-beom and Hwang Hee-chan and talk of a dressing-room rift surfaced. Moreno said talking was what he had done most in recent weeks, with players, the captain and the federation. 🆕 Lee Myung-jae, Jung Woo-young and Eom Ji-sung return, while Gangwon's Shin Min-ha and Seoul's Son Jung-bum receive first call-ups. ✈️ A trip to Saudi Arabia had been considered, but both games were moved to Doha because of the local situation. Moreno flew to Europe that evening and will watch Atlético v Bayern on 4 November and Porto v Napoli on 5 November. 📊 By the numbers • Squad of 26: 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 11 midfielders, 4 forwards • 2 first call-ups: Shin Min-ha (Gangwon), Son Jung-bum (Seoul) • Fixtures: Saudi Arabia on 13 November, Qatar on 17 November (both Doha) 🔭 Why it matters After weeks of retirement talk, the same core is back together, so these games will show whether the mood has really settled. They are Korea's last internationals of the year and will help decide whether Moreno stays beyond November, starting with Saudi Arabia on 13 November.
