He didn't linger along the way.
Eliminated Tuesday in the semi-final of the Asian Cup with the South Korean selection, Kang-In Lee quickly left Qatar, where the competition is being held, to return to Paris.
The Parisian midfielder was, according to information from Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France, in the stands to attend Wednesday evening the eighth final of the Coupe de France between PSG and Brest, won (3-1) by the Parisians at the Parc of Princes.
The exit of South Korea, although favorites, in the semi-final against Jordan constitutes good news for Luis Enrique in view of the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad on February 14.
With Kang-In Lee, the Spanish technician benefits from an additional option in midfield to face the Basques.
Competed in all Asian Cup matches
The player is on pace, having played all of South Korea's matches in Qatar.
His last match with PSG dates back to December 20, where he started against Metz in Ligue 1, providing an assist in the Parisian success (3-1).
It now remains to be seen when the staff of the capital club intends to bring him back into the group.
It could be as early as Saturday, with the Lille reception at 9 p.m. in the championship.
Or, just to give him a little more time to breathe, Wednesday in the Champions League against Real Sociedad.
Luis Enrique has a choice, which he would not have had if Kang-In Lee had played in the Asian Cup final, scheduled for Saturday.
This will pit Qatar against Jordan.
