Hong Jeong Ho should start.
Ji Dong Won was hurt in training. So even though it is a good opportunity with augsburg's offense struggling and Bobadilla out with suspension, he may miss the weekend. Hoping its not too serious.
Ryu Seung Woo looks off the squad with Aranguiz squeezing squad even further.
Son had one of his worst matches in a Leverkusen shirt as he looked totally lost positionally, and didn't do well with the ball either. Very worrisome and he deserves to be benched until he can sort his head and form out. I expect bench.
Kim Jin Su had Bellarabi last week and gets Bayern's Robben next. Not ideal but hopefully KJS gets to face it and do well. He may/should start but could get benched.
Lee Chung Yong will be fortunate to be bench with other attackers getting healthy.
Yun Suk Young looks still out for weekend.
Ki Sung Yueng nears a return. I still dont expect a start as team is doing well, so more likely a bench role with league cup fixture mid next week to test match form.
Koo Ja Cheol started surprise midweek friendly to get 90 minutes for weekend (taken off when he got on Sunday) and he had an assist and maybe that (or poor offense without) pushes him back into starting XI.
Park Joo Ho also played and got 90 in that friendly. I think its more likely he gets start esp. more dangerous Gladbach.
Suk should start this weekend.
