South Korea recall Arsenal striker

Arsenal striker Park Chu-young has been recalled by South Korea for a World Cup warm-up against Greece in March.

Arsenal striker Park Chu-young has been recalled by South Korea for the first time in 13 months for a World Cup warm-up against Greece in March, while former Manchester United star Park Ji-sung will not join the squad.

A lack of playing time with Arsenal cost Park Chu-young his international place, but that should change with a recent loan move to English League Championship side Watford.

Hong denied that Park, with 23 goals in 61 international appearances, was guaranteed a place in South Korea World Cup squad, telling reporters Wednesday; "I have decided about 80 percent of my final roster and will decide my starting line-up in June."
