Lee Kang In-- Pobably greatest chance of making the leap to first team of the young guys and with Valencia really struggling, I think LKI will get a chance to impress and potentially get promoted to first team. But first he will have to perform either as a possible starter or off the bench.
Ji Dong Won-- Out injured.
Koo Ja Cheol-- Started and played a bit over an hour. I didn’t get to watch but didn’t get good marks from local paper or Kicker so it seems not a good showing. I think he will be rested on bench but he could start spending on who Baum wants to use this weekend.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- Wih such a low level opponent, JWY has a decent chance of playing if Bayern can go up early. But he’ll be happy to make the first team squad I’m sure.
Paik Seung Ho-- Girona is short on people and PSH has been training frequently with first team. I’m least confident of him making squad let alone playing.
Son Heung Min--With a bad pitch, Poch benched some more preferred guys and so it was Alli and Eriksen coming in as a sub rather than Son. But with a match midweek, a great chance for Son to get some minutes and start and we can hope he finds some forward momentum.
Suk Hyun Jun-- An unused sub so a good chance of starting here even if league seems pretty distant right now.
Ki Sung Yueng-- Ki not only made the squad but came on for an injured Diame. And he looked really motivated though he was a bit uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball and still as slow as molasses. But he also showed a bit of verve that’s lacking everywhere in Newcastle’s squad right now and Ki made a decent shout in his twenty minutes of starting soon.
