Weekend Preview Sept 11

I'm realizing that BeIN La Liga is still called that despite losing rights this summer. Weird. 

International breaks and the timing of the transfer window makes this difficult but I'll do my best. And I have no idea if there are mini self-quarantines and the like to increase complexities of a club return. I've also been crazy busy with work so not super up to date on all the news as I normally am.

Choi Kyoung Rok-- Should start but they'll be looking for more offense.


Son Heung Min-- After not even being on the bench for WCQ, concerns were raised but it appears to be a minor calf issue so far. I will assume that at most will be on the bench but more likely rested ahead given two matches next week if he is that close to fit.


Park Kyu Hyun-- One of the fullbacks is out so maybe closer to action but still think he will only be on the bench.


Suk Hyun Jun-- I've no clue if he's fit or not but sporting director did mention his value being greater than a random transfer so he's still on the radar once he is but unlikely to have a big role right now.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- International break would have been a risk for his positive momentum, but not being called up should help him here with a possible side bonus of not being involved in the mediocre offensive output this week. Should start given this.


Lee Jae Sung-- On the other hand, a fair amount of minutes in international duty hurts LJS' chances so I expect him on the bench, especially after Mainz' output before and the limited integration time he's had.


Hwang Hee Chan-- I'm curious to see how this plays out but I expect HHC to be used as an option off the bench, and international break should only increase the certainty of that.


Lee Kang In-- Total wildcard here with no KNT time meaning two weeks of integration could mean a bigger role to start. I don't know Mallorca well enough to know if that's a start but maybe a good chance for it.


Hwang Ui Jo-- Bordeaux don't have too much alternative but HUJ did play quite a bit with KNT even if you didn't see him due to his invisible performances. I suspect a start.
