Park expected to be fit for South Korea's opening match

South Korea captain Park Ji-Sung is expected to be play in the teams opening World Cup match against Greece despite a sore hamstring.

The Manchester United star missed the friendly against Spain last weekend but South Korea boss Huh Jung-Moo says his skipper will be right to tackle the Greeks on Saturday.

"Park Ji-Sung is feeling fine. He felt a slight soreness on his hamstring so we didn't let him play in the friendly against Spain so as not to aggravate it," Huh told the Korea Times.

"All our players feel good. As we head to South Africa for the World Cup we'd like to make impressive foot prints. During the last Confederations Cup it was cold but this time the weather and the ground conditions are conducive to success."
