Weekend Preview Apr 3

We're back to club action. Did not watch friendly and writing this with only early news on player returns. Hoping no adverse impact like last international break's catastrophe. Similarly, I don't know if international break has impacted the teams' other players and/or manager opinions of the guys.

Lee Jae Sung-- Should start. Still no news on a move. 


Choi Kyoung Rok-- Should start.


Hwang Hee Chan-- No Lewandowski/Boateng for Bayern so could HHC be a late hero? If he comes on, I still think he comes off the bench but I've not been keeping close tabs over international break.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- Given international travel, I'd be skeptical of anything beyond late showing. It turns out that he also picked up a knock and is questionable to even be in squad for the weekend.


Kwon Chang Hoon-- A stronger candidate to play as a sub if his ankle is ok given Streich being so positive on him before the injury but I doubt he'll start given match fitness.


Yun Il Lok-- He remains at Montpellier but seems making squad is difficult so pretty unlikely to play.


Hwang Ui Jo-- Should start.


Son Heung Min-- I assume that he's 100% if he was anywhere close before the break and the fact that he's in team training. And if so and given lack of midweek fixtures for a while, he should start.


Lee Kang In-- I'm clearly always at a loss to predict his minutes and not keeping close eye on circumstances at Valencia that might force his use. Assuming that he's on the bench but a chance to start depending on political pressures around the club.


Ji Dong Won-- Hopefully he's back to 100% after a break. He should start if so though how long he lasts appears to be a function of health.
