Ki Sung Yueng-- Hayden and Diame are hurt and Shelvey appears to be recovering from something so perhaps Ki gets the start in a Swansea-era Shelvey/Ki combo.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- I imagine KCH is one of the sellable assets for Dijon but it also seems KCH doesn't have full faith of the manager. We'll see how KCH gets used...
Lee Kang In-- Short week, maybe he gets a chance or if the player he filled in for midweek is healthy, perhaps out of the squad. Likely answer is that he won't play though has a chance for the squad.
Suk Hyun Jun-- It looks like he's re-earned a bench spot for now. We'll see if he earns more of a chance in coming weeks.
Ji Dong Won-- His knee prevented him from playing midweek, and its unclear if Baum was saving him for the relegation fight or if he's aggravated the injury. Baum didn't shed too much light on it.
Koo Ja Cheol-- Koo injured his toe but was able to finish out the match so it doesn't sound too serious but Baum didn't provide a positive update either. I didn't get to watch their cup exit midweek, but with injuries and form, I'd think Koo starts if he's healthy, and bench if he's not 100% but able to play.
Son Heung Min-- While Tottenham was energized by their first match in their new home, it looked a bit like an early season match as players ran into each others' paths and looked disjointed coordination wise. Yet Son was the source of much of the positives as he was everywhere in attack even if his overeagerness did make him a bit wasteful. And Son was rewarded for his energy as Eriksen found Son who drove into the box and had a shot which was strongly deflected in for the first senior goal in the new stadium. I didn't get to see the rest yet but what I saw was a good showing when Tottenham really needed it as they start off new stadium era with a win and an important one in the battle for CL spots.
