Son Heung-Min will lead the line for South Korea in their opening World Cup group game against Sweden.
The Tottenham Hotspur man is expected to be the start of the tournament for Korea, and has been given the luxury of attacking support in the shape of Shin-Wook Kim.
Sweden, meanwhile, are missing Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof. The centre-back has been a regular in the Swedish back-line in recent years, but is believed to be suffering from illness and has missed out on selection.
TEAMS
South Korea: Cho Hyun-Woo, Lee Yong, Kim Young-Gwon, Jang Hyun-Soo, Park Joo-Ho, Lee Seung-Woo, Koo Ja-Cheol, Ki Sung-yueng, Lee Jae-Sung, Hwang Hee-Chan, Son Heung-Min.
Sweden: Olsen, Lustig, Granqvist, Jansson, Augustinsson, Larsson, Ekdal, Claesson, Forsberg, Toivonen, Berg.
Later on Monday sees the arrival of the Group G teams to the tournament, with Belgium facing Panama at 4pm and England taking on Tunisia at 7pm.
