Park Joo Ho has been a regular and should be again this weekend.

HJH hasn't played in a while even in the cup match so probably bench.  Injuries could/should mean that HJH gets a start this weekend.

LCY had an off match and was benched midweek.  We'll see if he gets the start again as the attacking players in his spot apparently had a better showing.

Kim Bo Kyung didn't play midweek after starting the weekend.  Was he being saved for a greater attacking opportunity this weekend or out of favor again?  I'm guessing bench.

Son Heung Min started the cup match.  He missed an 1 on 1 and had a hard time getting involved in the flow of the match.  He's performed well vs Dortmund historically but there's the must win CL match next week.  I'm leaning towards starting for now.

Ki Sung Yueng had a strong match again for Sunderland.  He provided lots of composure and when the team needed goals, pushed forward well.  Should start again.  Ji hasn't been seen so probably off the squad still.

Probably too soon for PJS and Koo.

Park Ji Sung may be available for the bench this weekend.

Koo Ja Cheol should return to the squad this weekend as Wolfsburg manager declares him fit.  Probably not start though.

Could Kiu feature in a cup match which is a distraction to Almeria's relegation battle?  Perhaps but I don't think he's been practicing with the first team this week so far. Kiu has started practicing with first team.
