The K-League of professional soccer is already under the influence of "injury evil spirits." Since the beginning of the season, clubs are also in a state of extreme tension as news of injuries to their main players has been reported one after another.
In Daejeon Hana Citizen, key midfielder Lee Soon-min collapsed in the opening two games. Lee Soon-min suffered a major fracture of his collarbone after colliding with his opponent during the second round of the K League 1 2025 match against Ulsan HD at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. It has been reported that he needs to undergo rehabilitation treatment for about three months after surgery.
It is a truly fatal blow to Daejeon. Once picked as the best midfielder in the K-League, Lee Soon-min is a key resource in the midfield of Hwang Sun-hong's team in Daejeon.
Daejeon, which was on the verge of being demoted last season, succeeded in rebounding in the second half, and Daejeon was also seen as a favorite ahead of this season because of the presence of the midfield in which Lee Soon-min and Bob Shin (Brazil) worked together. However, as Lee Soon-min left the battle line for a long time just two games after the opening, Daejeon manager Hwang Sun-hong's anxiety deepened that much.
Daejeon was not the only team that was shaken by the unfavorable injury. Jeonbuk Hyundai also had strikers Jeon Jin-woo and Compagno (Italy) injured in the match against Gwangju FC.
After the competition, Jeon fell and lost the match as his left elbow put weight on the ground. He tried to endure the pain but exited the stadium after asking for replacement. Foreign striker Kompanyo, who showed strong performance by scoring multiple goals, also had his upper eyebrow torn during the competition and played with a bandage. He sutured the torn area only after the competition was over.
After the match, Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye said, "Jeon appears to be seriously injured. He does not look good at the moment," sighing deeply. According to the club, Jeon will undergo a thorough examination of his injured area including magnetic resonance imaging. Compagno will also be treated additionally. 메이저사이트
In Ulsan, the "defending champion," Cho Hyun-woo, the national team's goalkeeper, is also out of the lineup for the second game of the opening. Earlier on the 12th, he suffered a fractured nose in an away match at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE) Buriram United (Thailand) and went to the operating table. Recently, the Ulsan goal has been guarded by backup goalkeeper Moon Jung-in instead.
The Pohang Steelers lost striker Ahn Jae-joon just four minutes after the opening kickoff whistle last week. Ahn Jae-joon, who has a recurrence of a hamstring injury, is said to need rehabilitation for a long time. The unexpected injury in the early days of the season is a variable that shakes even the last winter training process, so each club has already been warned of injury.
