Suk Hyun Jun - Suk should start.
Lee Chung Yong - Out with injury.
Kim Jin Su - I expect him to be on bench as Hoffenheim has been on a decent run without him.
Yun Suk Young - I haven't heard of any return from his injury. Been frustrating as QPR's defense has been horrible and I'd think Yun would get a look.
Ki Sung Yueng - He was probably the strongest of the diamond last weekend, though that's not saying much after the rough performance of the entire team. I expect him to start and the question will be whether he will be out wide in diamond again, as the deepest DM, or as the 8. I'm expecting the last which is where he's been the strongest at Swansea.
Son Heung Min - Out for next couple weeks with a foot injury. Curious timing and he may be in the mix for a start after the international break.
Hong Jeong Ho - Was beaten for the first goal as he failed to close down the attacker on a long ball over the top. He was playing on the left rather than his usual right and his hesitation on which way to turn cost him as the attacker had already cut and shot the first goal. He got better over the course of the match but pretty poor. He may start though as JICB was even worse.
Ji Dong Won - Played primary on the left wing where he worked hard and had a number of excellent passes, most often to Bobadilla, but that somehow didn't result in goals. And then most frustratingly of all, he had an own goal as a ball got cleared into him and he misplayed it out. A mixed day for Ji whose hard work just seems to fail to add up. I expect a bench role for him this weekend.
Koo Ja Cheol - I thought that when he went forward, he was really dangerous. Unfortunately, he sat back a lot and didn't influence the match like he's been doing. His first touch was rough and so perhaps energy conservation was an issue. Not the best showing from Koo though he should start again this weekend.
Ryu Seung Woo - Hasn't been in active squad even for CL group match so don't expect anything here.
Park Joo Ho - A workman-like performance. He was caught out a bit too far ahead for the first goal even if it wasn't his direct assignment. He played very conservatively at LB and similarly at DM when he shifted there. I expect him to be on the bench this weekend.
