Schedule and Recap for Weekend of Oct 24th

Lots of GolTV for all 1 of you who probably get it.  Maybe I'll try out the klowd Bundesliga service.

Kim Bo Kyung was an unused sub midweek.  Good part is that he made the squad.  Bad part was the fact that Cardiff was short of players due to injuries.  Worst case scenario is that he stays the 19th man and doesn't get to play or leave.  He may make the bench but I doubt he'll play.

Hong Jeong Ho was an unused sub due to Augsburg losing.  Bench and late defensive sub option most likely.

Ji Dong Won played 90 minutes with the reserves.  Maybe with the short week after CL may open a spot for him in the squad though by the same token, news on his status may be unclear until the last minute.

Kim Jin Su remains out for another month at least due to injury.

Lee Chung Yong reportedly played well though Bolton lost another.  Hopefully they pick up a badly needed W this weekend.  Should start.

Son Heung Min played well in spurts and Leverkusen was strong enough to win and top the group after the first legs.  His starting status will be dependent on his fitness though he should start.

Ki Sung Yueng continued his quality streak though he clearly was not running on a full tank of gas after captaining the KNT twice over international break.  Despite this, he measured out his bursts of energy and put in some key stops and also had a hand in some of the good attacks as well.  The best of which was also his worst moment, when he started a combination that left him 1 on 1 vs the GK but he shot straight into his arms.  He should start again.

Koo Ja Cheol was a late scratch last weekend due to ankle injury.  Hopefully he's fully fit though news on his ankle is sparse.

Park Joo Ho returned to light running but he's still 10 days or so away from full training.

Suk Hyun Jun returns to the schedule.  He scored a goal in the midweek cup match.  He's been alternating between sub and start so we'll start keeping better tabs on his action going forward even though the league isn't televised.

Yun Suk Young finally made his EPL debut so many months after signing.  He looked good at times vs a very dangerous Liverpool attack, putting in some good touches and tackles.  However, he had a hard time tracking complex combinations on his side.  And he definitely had a hand in one of the goals by not stalling the quick free kick.  Hopefully Harry sees the positives outweighing the negatives some of which were to be expected from a players first time in the top tier.  Possibly start, possibly bench, possibly off the squad.
