Yun Suk-Young: South Korea defender free to play in play-off final

There were fears the 24-year-old defender would have to link up with the South Korea squad for their pre-World Cup training camp rather than take part in the Wembley showdown.

FIFA rules meant South Korea could have prevented Yun playing as May 19-25 is an official rest period for all players selected for the tournament, apart from the Champions League final.

But coach Hong Myung-bo has allowed the left-back to stay with the Rangers squad for the winner-takes-all clash.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp said: "It's fantastic that the Korea coach has allowed him to stay in England and be part of our team for the game. We are delighted with that."
