CHUNG-YONG Lee was stretchered off in his first game at the Asia Cup.
The Wanderers star was sent crashing to the floor in pain after a heavy touchline challenge from Oman defender Abdul Al Mukhaini after 77 minutes at the Canberra Stadium.
Korea coach Uli Stieilke played down talk of a serious injury after the game but initial reports from Australia suggest the 26-year-old will be ruled out of the next group game against Kuwait on Tuesday.
Chung-Yong had looked bright and was involved in the build-up to the winning goal for Cho Yong-cheol in first half stoppage time.
The Whites star – who looks set to leave the Macron Stadium and is being strongly linked with a move to Premier League Crystal Palace – played on the left side of a 4-2-3-1 formation.
