Jeong Woo Yeong-- Maybe makes the squad... not up to date on squad depth issues but unlikely to play with Streich earlier saying that his U23 showings aren't enough to earn him a first team role.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- Probably same role for now. Hopefully on the playing as a sub side rather than sitting on bench side.
Son Heung Min-- Again, in the challenging role of providing width on left, danger over the top and play making from behind, Son did ok but looked to be a bit gun-shy, taking an extra move too often and losing half chances. That said he did have a marvelous dribble into the box where he went around something like four defenders. He had to pass the ball out but had unsettled the defense enough that the next ball in would eventually fall to Alli for a very nice goal. Unfortunately, in the second half Tottenham really struggled in possession and flow and Son didn't get enough touches on the ball to consistently create danger. I think he starts this weekend as table position becomes focus.
Ki Sung Yueng-- Writing this in advance of the match but I'm guessing he won't be in squad today or Sunday.
Suk Hyun Jun-- Was going to start but the match was cancelled due to excessive fog. Disappointing but hopefully that start will happen this weekend.
Hwang Ui Jo-- I was surprised to see him on the bench and maybe his knee is worse off than it sounds or maybe the press conference was a way for Sousa to keep him happy while resting him. Surprisingly Bordeaux cruised easily to a 6-0 win so we'll see if he keeps the same XI to keep things going but HUJ should be on the bench at least.
Ji Dong Won-- Still out injured
Lee Kang In-- Out injured and possibly through first couple weeks of 2020.
