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.
