Report: After South Korea’s match against Russia ended in a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, the national team is now back at its base camp in Foz do Iguacu.
 
Except for Lee Chung-yong who has a slight limp over a stress fracture, no other players have been injured. 
 
The mood at practice has also lifted after the first match. Lee Keun-ho, who scored the goal in the match, and Son Heung-min, who made an impressive World Cup debut, appear to be upbeat.
 
In a training session at the base camp, the key players warmed up to recover from the match against Russia, while other members held a scrimmage.
 
The temperature at Foz do Iguacu has fallen to 18 degrees Celsius on Thursday, making practice conditions more favorable.
 
Porto Alegre where the Algeria match will be held is forecast to be even cooler, which will be ideal for the players.
