Hong Jeong Ho missed last week and I haven't read of any immediate return though Augsburg is struggling already.

Ji Dong Won still has a few weeks before he gets back on the pitch.

Son Heung Min will most likely start in a couple hours.  As for league match, it will depend on his freshness and how much he plays in CL playoff.

Kim Jin Su had a shoulder injury from landing directly on it after a contested header.  He did play through the match which they won comfortably.  After an MRI revealed no significant damage, he should be good to start again this weekend.

Lee Chung Yong came on as a sub and Bolton ended up winning in extra time.  Apparently LCY had a good penalty claim denied in the final minutes of normal time.  He should start this weekend but may depend on fitness.

Kimbo played just over 60 minutes in the cup match.  Not a great sign for this weekend.  I don't expect him to make the squad but if he does, most likely on the bench.

Yun Suk Young may be playing in a few hours in cup match.  It looks like Redknapp is about to try and buy a LB to slot in ahead of Yun in the depth chart.  Yun most likely won't make the squad for the weekend but if he does well today, it might be possible as QPR were awful last weekend.  Yun is hurt and will be out until after international break.  The new LB got loaned out so  he's safe for now.

Ki was an unused sub in the cup match.  He should start again this weekend.

Koo Ja Cheol and Park Joo Ho both played the full 90.  Koo scored a penalty in the final minutes to level the match and save Mainz the embarrassment of losing to a newly promoted side.  They should both start.
