The 28-year-old, who joined Gareth Southgate's Premiership outfit from K-League side Pohang Steelers at the start of the year, last featured for Korea against Angola in March 2006.

Lee featured for Korea at the 1998 World Cup but was omitted from the 2002 team and was ruled out of last year's tournament after suffering a cruciate knee-ligament injury in the K-League.

Reading midfielder Seol Ki-Hyeon had already been ruled out of the friendly after struggling with continuous pain in his ankle throughout the Premier League season.

The 28-year-old is also a doubt for July's Asian Cup after undergoing ankle surgery.

Korea will defiantly be without Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung for the tournament, while Tottenham defender Lee Young-Pyo remains hopeful of recovering from surgery in time for the Asian Cup.

Lee, 29, has undergone surgery after suffering ligament damage to his left knee during the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final against Sevilla on April 5, but has spoken of his confidence of featuring for Korea.

Former Kyoto Sanga and PSV Eindhoven midfielder Park is set to miss the tournament after undergoing potentially career saving knee surgery in America.

Pim Verbeek's Korea will face Bahrain, co-hosts Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in Group D of the Asian Cup which begins on July 8.
