After the match against Lille on Sunday evening, several PSG players will leave for international matches. One of them is Kang-In Lee, who will join the South Korean national team.

The 2024-2025 season began in early August and is now approaching the first international break of the season. This break will be attended by more than a dozen PSG players who will represent their countries around the world. Among them is Kang-In Lee, who has already scored two goals this season. He will not be at PSG’s training ground for the next fifteen days as he has been called up for the national team.

In fact, PSG’s number 19 has been called up by South Korean head coach Hong Myung-bo for the third round of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying. South Korea will face Palestine on September 5 at 13:00 (French time) before facing Oman on September 10 at 16:00 (French time).

This call-up underlines the important role that Kang-In Lee plays for his national team, which is currently fighting for a place at the next World Cup. The South Korean team will rely heavily on his creativity and goal-scoring ability in these crucial qualifiers.

For PSG, the international break is a double-edged sword: while it is an honour to have so many players competing for their countries, it also means that key squad members will be absent from training, which could affect the team’s rhythm when club matches resume.

Kang-In Lee’s return to PSG is highly anticipated as he quickly became a fan favourite and a key player in Luis Enrique’s tactical team. As PSG prepare for a challenging season, the international form of players like Lee could be a key factor in maintaining their domestic and European ambitions.
