Choi Kyoung Rok-- Seems a strong chance to start after last week’s strong performance but it seems his starting does depend on the formation,  


Lee Kang In-- I don’t even know anymore. Maybe escapes the doghouse off the bench. 


Paik Seung Ho-- A mini break hopefully helps Paik find a bigger role but until I see, not expecting a start. 


Lee Jae Sung-- Should start. 


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Streich seems a bit impatient with the offense and will he go with Kwon’s ability to score and create at the expense of defense? Seems a half chance to start. 


Jeong Woo Yeong-- Could be Jeong who starts instead but I think Streich is wary of his mistakes. 


Hwang Hee Chan-- Came on as a sub at HT with the match in control. Leipzig was low on energy and didn’t help HHC at all. Started off a bit sloppy with errant passes but had a few bright moments showing continued improved dribbling and passing. Nagelsmann referenced the need to understand his system and level of play at BL for HHC and other new players and with results going well, seems to be willing to take the time with them. As a result, still thinking bench role. 


Ji Dong Won-- Perhaps Ji gets more time this week but I’m keeping expectations low on the starting front.


Hwang Ui Jo-- I think bench but should get on or even an outside chance to start. 


Yun Il Lok-- Unlikely to play. 


Son Heung Min-- Came on as a sub with Tottenham looking as comfortable as they do, but still Son found the goal again, working well with Vinicius who looks promising as a CF for Son to work off of when Kane is absent or playing deeper. Didn’t have to do too much but looked sharp and as a result should start Monday.
