South Korea midfielder Hwang In-beom says he is healthy as the team prepares for the upcoming World Cup, though he is not fully match-ready. In interviews ahead of the tournament, Hwang indicates there is no immediate fitness concern, even if he needs to regain or improve match sharpness. The reports note that any remaining work is expected to be addressed during South Korea’s pre-tournament period, including upcoming friendlies. One outlet characterises him as “healthy” but not “match fit,” while another similarly describes him as fit but needing to sharpen his performance in games leading up to the World Cup. Both accounts converge on the same overall message: Hwang does not present a fitness worry for the tournament, but he aims to build his form through pre-World Cup fixtures. The focus therefore shifts from recovery to maintaining readiness and timing his match performance for the start of the World Cup.
