Kim Bo Kyung hasn't featured in a long time. They finally have a new manager but the staff that criticized KBK so strongly previously is still a part so I don't expect his situation to change soon.
Hong Jeong Ho was an unused sub as Augsburg was losing. He started a friendly and reports were that he did very poorly so I expect no change to his role. Bench probable.
Son Heung Min played 90 for Leverkusen and had some flashes but like all of Leverkusen, looked a bit ragged after midweek match. Son should start if fit after playing for KNT.
Ji Dong Won played 90 with reserves again. With key attackers like Reus getting healthy, its unclear where Ji might fit in. He played with a lot of 1st teamers in a friendly midweek so perhaps a bench option is possible.
Koo Ja Cheol remained out but he nears his return after playing a half over international break. Mainz tried him at DM so it remains to be seen where he plays but he should play. If he starts will be a function of his fitness.
Park Joo Ho returns after Asian Games with exemption. He turned his ankle in KNT friendly so its quite possible that he might be bench or left out to recuperate. But if healthy (looking unlikely at this point) he should start.
Lee Chung Yong has a new manager... Ki's former manager Neil Lennon. LCY played a lot so his starting may be up in the air dependent upon his fitness. He probably will start but you never know with a new manager.
Yun Suk Young remains off the radar and I don't expect an immediate change.
Kim Jin Su also returns. He's been training but its unclear how well. Maybe he makes the bench.
Ki Sung Yueng played well again but Swansea was disappointed with a tie. He had a lot of work being the captain of KNT during break, but Swansea is thin at his spot so I expect him to start.
