Hwang Ui Jo-- I don't think he's back just yet.


Lee Kang In-- He's back in team training but it seems Saturday is too soon to be in squad.


Ki Sung Yueng-- With all the injuries, seems a chance for Ki to have a chance but does he want it? An injury could risk a potential move so we'll see where he's at. For now, I suspect he will be in squad and maybe even start.


Suk Hyun Jun-- His lack of minutes in final match of 2019 make this even more tricky than usual to predict as the transfer window opens and Suk's future remains cloudy and yet Reims also has another cup match midweek. I expect him to be in squad for this weekend but a start or even minutes seems unlikely.


Son Heung Min-- Finally back in action but now Kane is out which can be problematic for Son if he's too isolated up top. Normally Son would be rested on the bench for cup action, but with a week off and a lengthy break, I think he starts especially given lack of momentum in general.
