"Hopefully I'll be playing again early in the New Year. My knee is getting better and it's a case of so far, so good," Park told Fifa's website. "I'm confident that we can retain the Premier League title this season. We've got a good squad and the manager has brought some good players into the team to improve it even further.
"The new signings have all impressed me in different ways. Nani is very quick, Owen works hard and Carlos has great vision. Anderson hasn't played much, but I am looking forward to seeing more of him."
Park also spoke about the importance of more Asian players moving to Europe, "For me, it's important for Asian players to come to Europe's top-level teams to learn how to play. Asian football is improving. It will take time to reach European standards.
"In England, they play on grass, whereas back home in Korea they play on hard surfaces or artificial turf. Generally, young professionals in the Netherlands and England belong to a club that has great facilities in order for them to develop their talent. In Korea they only play for their school and are not part of a club."
