What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

"We would like to sincerely apologise to the Korean public and football fans for the concern caused by recent reports concerning the national team," Son Heung-min and four other South Korean players.
Son and Kim, together with Lee Jae-sung, Hwang In-beom and Hwang Hee-chan, issued a joint statement to fans apologising and saying it was time to move on after they held talks.
Reports of a rift in the dressing room began after the team's early exit at this year's World Cup, which led to the departure of coach Hong Myung-bo.
