Weekend Preview Feb 26 and Midweek Recap Feb 23

As of now, it seems LKI is with U20 WC team and not called up so it seems his first season as a senior player could end on a quiet note. Valencia can still call on him if they feel a need, so not certain yet and maybe we'll see how the squad does this week without him.

Ji Dong Won-- He returned to training and early indications are that he didn't suffer a setback which would have ended his season. We will see if he makes the squad this weekend. If healthy, he'd still be on the bench as their offense is in sync for now.


Koo Ja Cheol-- He's returning to training after an illness so he should be good to start or at least be in squad... maybe Schmidt might not change too much after such a good result.


Son Heung Min-- The good news is that he didn't look too fatigued. The bad news is that he didn't have to move that much as Brighton turtled up and as a result, had little room to attack the box. He had a half shout for a penalty and though the contact was strong and some arms at play, wasn't really a compelling PK call. He also had a very good chance in the second half when he shot over from close range. That said, he spent most of the match nibbling outside the edges of the box and as a result didn't really create much in the way of danger, spending too much time as a playmaker instead of scorer. Fortunately, Eriksen bailed out a sloppy Tottenham team with a goal and they stand in good place in the race for fourth. Since Son can't play midweek, he's likely to start this weekend. Hopefully West Ham gets out of their box a tad to give Son some room to work.


Ki Sung Yueng-- With safety guaranteed, we'll see if Rafa changes things up. It seems that for now Ki should continue to start as it looks like Shelvey won't stay.


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Looks like he'll have to impact the match when he eventually gets on as a sub.


Suk Hyun Jun-- It seems starting CF is out for a month so perhaps Suk gets another chance in the squad at least.
