(Reuters) - Park Chu-young is back in the frame to make the cut for South Korea's World Cup squad after head coach Hong Myung-bo named the striker in his 24-man squad to face Greece in a friendly international next month.

The 28-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 61 international matches, has not represented his country since last February after failing to play regularly during his stint at English Premier League side Arsenal.
