Coach Huh Jung-moo has confirmed Park Ji-sung is back to full fitness and ready for South Korea's World Cup opener against Greece.

The Manchester United midfielder sat out the Taeguk Warriors' final warm-up match against Spain last week with a minor thigh injury but has returned to training without experiencing any further problems.

The Koreans begin their Group B campaign against Greece on Saturday and Huh is confident Park will take his place in the side to face the former European champions.

""Park Ji-sung is fine. He felt a slight soreness on his hamstring so we didn't let him play in the friendly against Spain so as not to aggravate it," Huh said in the Korean Times.

Huh also allayed fears regarding the fitness of Park Chu-young after the Monaco striker dislocated his shoulder at South Korea's training camp in Austria but is set to be fit for Saturday.
