Suk Hyun Jun-- With a full week of preparation, one would think Suk should be better integrated so we will see if he’s ready to start but should now be in the squad.


Ki Sung Yueng-- Ki should be in the squad as well and I’d think a better chance to start over the sloppy Diame but still unclear how fit Ki is or what Rafa has in mind in terms of role.


Son Heung Min-- At Asian Games.


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Injured.


Ji Dong Won-- Should start as Baum dismissed claims that Ji could move this window. Of course, it’s reflective of lack of forward depth too but hopefully Ji takes his chance. Given it’s a cup, there’s some possibility that Baum wants to see Cordova but I don’t think he’s done much to move ahead of Ji at CF.


Koo Ja Cheol-- Sounds like he’s still out this week but hopefully nearing a return.
