Choi Kyoung Rok-- As he rounds into fitness, we’ll see if he gets to start. Given they won last time around, I think that they lean to sticking with previous XI but wouldn’t be surprised by a start.
Lee Jae Sung-- Should start but role is question.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- We will see if Streich sticks with what works or use a performance that was good but less than a 10 our of 10 is enough to push him back to the bench. Hoping for a start but pessimistic.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- Likely on the bench but given lack of use prior match, perhaps Freiburg has to start thinking about a loan or something.
Ji Dong Won-- Seems making the squad would be a positive but haven’t heard if there’s an issue with heath or something.
Hwang Hee Chan-- Will be waiting to get off the bench but minutes remain hard to get.
Hwang Ui Jo-- Started and played a bit over 70 minutes. Apparently was one of the less bad attackers in a struggle for offense.
Yun Il Lok-- Got a start but only lasted a half. Haven’t read if there was an issue or just performance.
Paik Seung Ho-- Should start.
Cheon Seong Hoon-- Got a few minutes in a friendly, but not enough to make me think that he will be in squad.
Son Heung Min-- Son started as Mourinho went very strong to ensure a cup final. was vibrant in the first half, as the focus of much of the offense. Again criticism could be made that he might have passed a bit too often but decision making was better than the weekend in my opinion. Had a slightly quieter second half but made a difference when he was called on, running onto a throughball and making no mistake. His finishing of these chances have really improved lately even if his long distance shooting has become less frequent. Given the low level of opposition, I expect Son to be on the bench or maybe rested totally.
Lee Kang In-- TBD. Won’t be able to watch today but he did start.
