*injured and back in Korea. Park Chu-Young has already been back in Korea, season with Watford on loan ended a few weeks back.

Yun Suk-Young already played the last few minutes of a scoreless draw with Wigan for Leg 1 of the playoff promotion. 2nd leg set for Monday at Loftus Road 2:45pm EST/ Tues 3:45 am Korea time.

Mainz and Augsburg are fighting for a place in Europe next year, a Europa League qualifying spot opening up (new Europa League spot opening courtesy of the virtue of the German Cup being fought over by Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich who already qualified for the Champions League), while Bayer Leverkusen looks to hold on to the 4th and last Champions League qualifying spot. They lead Wolfsburg by 1 point. Wolfsburg by the way plays Borussia M’Gladbach – setting up 5th place against 6th place.

We know Park Joo-Ho is in recovery from a 2nd surgery in Korea- will the other pairs of Koreans in Augsburg and Leverkusen all show up this weekend?

In Wales, Cardiff’s fate is already sealed (relegated) but they may still have some fight for honor and glory with their last game in the top flight. Perhaps worth watching Kimbo for what might be his last time in Cardiff red. Or not.

 

Be on the lookout midweek for the 2nd leg of the Asian Champions League round of 16.
