Wednesday
Lee Chung Yong -- An unused sub but with Puncheon suspended and injuries, Pardew actually has a decision involving LCY. My guess is that Cabaye shifts up but there's a greater chance than normal for LCY to get some sub minutes.
Ki Sung Yueng -- Still out with broken toe. Hopefully getting close.
Son Heung Min -- Started and wasn't great but Tottenham played terribly and really all the good things came from Son with good shots from distance. When he was pulled it wasn't a surprise outside the fact that many others were playing worse. Was he pulled early to freshen up or will Pochettino go with Sissoko? Not many alternatives... I'm leaning to a bench role but he could start and should come on as a sub if things are close.
Recaps
Ji Dong Won -- A bit weaker Ji... he was working hard but his aerial work was a bit errant and in particular, he scuffed two great (but not easy) chances in the box. He's the only playmaker though which is a bit frustrating to watch Augsburg as Ji can't be in the box and create plays at the same time. It was a bad showing for Augsburg who lost their cool in a scrappy match and Augsburg will now have to start worrying about the ones below. Hopefully the return of Koo and others spark some offense.
Koo Ja Cheol -- He came on at 10 minutes and had one nice move to earn a corner but was a bit errant otherwise. Clearly he's not 100% else he would have come on sooner, but hopefully a positive sign. A week of training hopefully enough to get him to start but certainly bench if he's not 100%.
Park Joo Ho / Kim Jin Su -- Nothing to report.
