North Korea boss Kim Jong-hun has reported no injury worries ahead of the much anticipated World Cup Group G clash with Portugal, who will be without Deco

The playmaker has been ruled out of the game in Cape Town with a left hip problem which should be cured by the time Carlos Queiroz's side face Brazil.

"Our medical team assessed Deco's situation on Sunday morning, he didn't train with us and he will not be able to play for us against North Korea, but we want to prepare him to play against Brazil," said Queiroz.
