Midweek Preview Dec 17 and Weekend Recap Dec 14

Winter break is coming for France and Germany but midweek fixtures ahead of final weekend for those leagues and then I guess its Son only time for a while.

Ji Dong Won-- Out still rehabbing to fitness. I doubt we see him in this final week but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.


Suk Hyun Jun-- Came on quite early with Dia's calf which had been in doubt flaring up. I assume that leads to a start midweek in the cup, unless Dia is worse off and Suk needs to be saved for the weekend.


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Came on and tried to make something happen in the final minutes but things didn't quite click for him as Freiburg looked a bit out of gas and ideas when he came on. I assume with Bayern in town that he'll warm bench again and best hope for more minutes is for match to get out of hand.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- With KNT youth team.


Hwang Ui Jo-- Came on at 76' and didn't get to watch and he's off to Korea to sort out paperwork so he's done for 2019.


Ki Sung Yueng-- Wasn't in squad with injury. Bruce said that Ki wasn't written off so hard to tell if "injury" ahead of final weeks before window or a real knock.


Son Heung Min-- Started and played most of the match but really struggled to impact the match as he was positioned pretty far up while Vertonghen was getting destroyed behind him. The lack of any tactical shift was a bit weird. Offensively, Son did help in the first goal as his shot's rebounds would lead to Lucas but the latter did 99% of the work on a great individual goal. I'm not sure how much to blame Jose's system for a weak showing or Son for not helping out more but was not great.


Lee Kang In-- Out injured.
