Hong Jeong Ho -- Right now he looks like 3rd choice CH after his debacle a few weeks ago, and so I'd expect him to come on as a defensive sub if Augsburg have a chance at getting points vs. an inconsistent Wolfsburg.
Ji Dong Won -- It looks like he made the trip but I'm sure a later decision will be made on his availability depending on training. Would be bench if he made the squad but not certain as of now.
Koo Ja Cheol -- The one reliable player on this list this season, he should be starting this win. With Hamburg up by 2 at time of writing, there's finally a chance to put a solid gap between then and 16th place Werder Bremen, as Augsburg are far ahead on goal differential as well. The biggest question will be at which position, whether its out wide or in his more favored 10 spot, or deeper in CM.
Park Joo Ho -- Maybe this is the weekend he gets a token appearance but I'm not expecting much at all.
Suk Hyun Jun -- He's struggled a bit to show the same production as he did before his transfer, and Porto did well last week without him, so I expect him on the bench.
Kim Jin Su -- He's returned to individual training this week, and maybe even full training, but I haven't checked as I don't think he'll have a role until relegation fears are dampened. Like Augsburg, Hoffenheim could really separate from the bottom three with a win, but will not be an easy task vs a dangerous Gladbach team.
Lee Chung Yong -- He started for the first time in a while, and you could see that LCY was eager to impress, running around like a madman. Unfortunately, that work rate was not matched by quality, and most glaring was a breakaway chance with two choices: take the open shot with only the goalkeeper to beat, or cross to Zaha who was wide open. But he hesitated and somehow got his cross blocked by a defender and the golden opportunity to get back into consideration was gone. That said, Pardew also shares some of the blame, taking LCY off first, despite Sako being an absolute waste of space. I'm not sure he'll make the squad for the FA Cup semis, but I don't expect him to play.
Ki Sung Yueng -- Was Fer's mediocre performance the opening that Ki can take advantage of? But given how far into Guidolin's doghouse he is, wouldn't surprise me to see him excluded from squad again and Britton may be the next choice above Ki.
Son Heung Min -- I don't see a change from his bench role for now, though he could be called upon at any moment in final few matches of the season. Obviously unlikely for Tottenham to play as well as they did Monday every time, so he should get a chance before summer.
