Jurgen Klinsmann Urges China To Free Detained South Korea Player For Christmas
South Korea coach Jurgen Klinsmann has called on the Chinese government to release World Cup midfielder Son Jun-ho in time for Christmas. Beijing's foreign ministry said in May that the 31-year-old had been detained "on suspicion of accepting bribes by non-state employees", without giving details. South Korean media reported that Son was being held in the northeastern province of Liaoning but there has been no news of his fate since.
