Jesse Lingard is a doubt for FC Seoul’s clash against Gangwon on Sunday after suffering a minor knee injury.

The former Manchester United attacker was in line to make his first start in Korea since his shock move to Asia in February this weekend.

However, Mail Sport understands the 31-year-old has sustained a meniscus issue that is putting his participation at risk.

The news will come as a blow to Lingard, who has been building up his match fitness in recent weeks.

Lingard helped record FC Seoul’s first win of the season prior to the international break, coming on for the final 32 minutes of a 2-0 win of Jeju United.
