Kwon Chang Hoon-- Given good play last week, seems likely that he will start this weekend barring not being 100%.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- Still with KNT U23


Ji Dong Won-- Hopefully getting fitter to make his Mainz debut but don't expect a big role.


Ki Sung Yueng-- I think he's still out with "injury" but if he's fit, a cup seems it would be a good chance. That said Bruce sounds like he's gonna go strong this weekend especially with two new players to debut, so maybe even that possibility is out.


Son Heung Min-- Wasn't a pretty match, and Son wasted some good half-chances. Feels like the pressure to score was started to weigh on him, especially given infrequent opportunities in this broken Tottenham side. But he became hero at the end, heading in a deflected Alli shot/cross from a foot out and buying Tottenham a lifeline to CL/EL spots. Its a cup match so Son likely to get a rest, but with a full week until Man City, maybe gets a run out.


Lee Kang In-- I didn't get a chance to watch much, but reports were generally positive on a scrappy cup match on a rough pitch. He had a nice turn and shot cleared off the line, but was subbed off at 60 which may be due to his fitness levels. Given opponent, I don't expect much this weekend, maybe a cameo in waning minutes if things are ugly.


Yun Il Lok-- I still don't know where this guy stands so will have to wait and see.


Suk Hyun Jun-- I assume a continued bench role.


Hwang Ui Jo-- Bordeaux is stalling out in the bottom half of the table so not sure how the side will be put together...
