The Champions Korea-Japan match will also be canceled, but Gubo said, "Let's meet in Paris, Kang-in," and signs of injury

South Korean and Japanese soccer geniuses Lee Kang-in (23, Paris Saint-Germain) and Takefusa Kubo (23, Real Sociedad) are likely to fail.

Japanese midfielder Kubo injured his right knee at the end of the game against Osasuna in the 24th round of the Spanish Primera Liga in the 2023-2024 season on the 10th. In the 42nd minute of the second half, he collided with opposing defender Jorpe. Sociedad lost 0-1.

"I hope they (Gubo and midfielder Martin Zubimendi) can go to Paris," Sociedad coach Imanol Alnusi, who confirmed that Gubo was injured after the match, said ahead of the first leg of the round of 16 of the European Champions League against PSG in Paris, Paris, France, on the 14th.

As a result, it is unclear whether the best friend of the same age, who ate in the same pot in Mallorca in the 2021-2022 season, will face off at UCL.

The two Korean players almost faced off each other during the Qatar Asian Cup. They would meet in the round of 16 if Korea ranks first and Japan second in the group stage, and face off in the final round if Korea avoids a showdown in the round of 16. However, as the group stages were divided, Japan failed to make it to the quarterfinals and Korea failed to make it to the semifinals, respectively.

After the tournament, Gubo said through reporters, "I hope to meet Lee Kang-in in Paris," showing expectations for a showdown.

Lee Kang-in returned to Paris immediately after finishing the Asian Cup, and Lee was given a week-long vacation by PSG coach Luis Enrique, who rested at the match against Lille OSC on Wednesday. PSG won the match 3-1.

Lee Kang-in, who had a "warm winter vacation," is likely to return through the game against Sociedad. PSG, which aims to win the UCL, is unlikely to save its main midfielder in important tournament games.

Lee Kang-in, who moved to PSG from Mallorca last summer, has three goals and two assists in 16 games, including the cup.

Gubo, who settled in Sociedad in the summer of 2022, scored six goals and four assists in 27 games including this season's cup. Gubo signed an extension contract with Sociedad on Wednesday to extend the contract period to 2029.

Lee Kang-in was better at the Asian Cup. Lee Kang-in was selected as the official best-Eleven of the tournament, playing in all six games and making three goals and one assist. Gubo played in five games and only scored one goal and one assist.
