As the sprint stage of the Top 12 draws to a close, the South Korean soccer team has released a new round of national team lineups. It was rumored that Shandong Taishan's midfielder Sun Junho was expected to take the opportunity to play, however, he did not appear in the list. According to the Korean media, Sun will return to his homeland on March 24th, and his home team Shandong Taishan is also stepping up the pace, trying to renew his contract.
On March 14, South Korean coach Bento unveiled the national team training lineup, and the absence of Sun Junho surprised many fans. Bento said that he will give Sun Junho more opportunities in the future.
Sun Junho has shown his strength in the last two seasons by helping Jeonbuk Hyundai and Shandong Taishan to the top of the league. However, since September last year, he has rarely been called up to the national team, and this time he missed the opportunity again.
Recently, Son Jungho's outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of Southampton in the Premier League and Fulham in the Championship.
According to Korean media reports, Son Jungho himself is looking forward to returning to the national team, and there is even talk that he might join Southampton or Fulham after completing the final two matches of the Top 12.
Sun Zhunhao will soon return to China and join the training of Shandong Taishan team. His contract with Shandong will expire in December 2023, and since the end of last season, Shandong has been actively pursuing the possibility of renewing Sun's contract.
