Attempts nine crosses Lee registered one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nantes.

Impact While his international form and proceeding gastric problem were due for some concern, Lee returned from the AFC Asian Cup with a strong performance not much different from before the tournament. Lee's Ligue 1 form is still quite great, which includes an average of 7.3 accurate crosses (two accurate) and 5.3 corners across his last three appearances.

Starting against Nantes Lee (rest) is in the starting XI to face Nantes on Saturday.

Impact Lee is finally returning to the team sheet after a five-match absence due to his service during the Asian Cup and rest following the competition. The attacker will now hope to maintain that role, as he started in the club's previous six contests before leaving with South Korea. However, with Bradley Barcola's rise in form while he was gone, Lee will have some competition to put up with before securing the starting spot on the left flank for good.

Impact Lee has been absent from the club's five matches due to his service with South Korea during the Asian Cup and more recently because of stomach issue, but is now ready to play again based on his recent developments. The club will be happy to gain back the attacker to the team sheet, as before he left for international duty, he had started in the club's previous six matches. It is still unsure where Lee will lineup Saturday, as there is a chance he could make the starting XI but will be more likely to reside on the bench, earning minutes later into the match as a substitute in place of Bradley Barcola or Ousmane Dembele on one of the wings.

Left out Wednesday Lee (rest) was not included in the squad list to face Real Sociedad on Wednesday.

Impact Lee will be out of the squad for his fifth straight match following his Asian Cup appearance with South Korea. The attacking midfielder is currently stuck in an eight-match goal drought dating back to Nov. 7 versus AC Milan. In fact, Lee has managed just two efforts on target during his goal slump, limiting his chances to put one into the netting.

Out Saturday Lee (rest) won't be called up for Saturday's clash with Lille, according to manager Luis Enrique.

Impact Lee won't be an option Saturday as his manager is giving him a chance to rest. Lee will be back in training ahead of a Feb. 14 clash with Sociedad, and could return for that Champions League clash. The winger started six matches in a row before departing for the Asian Cup and could step into a significant role once more on his return.

Leaving for international duty Lee was called up by South Korea for the Asian Cup, the league announced Thursday.

Impact Lee has started six straight matches for PSG in which he garnered one assist, 35 crosses (nine accurate) and 22 corners. At a minimum, the midfielder should be expected to miss the next two contests but it could certainly be longer if South Korea makes it out of the group stage. Without Lee available, Ousmane Dembele figures to take a larger share of the corner-taking duties.

Productive in Sunday's draw Lee recorded seven crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Lille.

Impact Lee had another productive match Sunday as he recorded seven corners for the third time this season and seven crosses (two accurate) for the fifth time this season. However, he failed to take a single shot for the first time in Ligue 1 play this season, and his streak without a goal contribution reached seven matches after Sunday's draw.

The attacker has now appeared in five of the club's six UCL matches, notching two straight starts, and has registered 18 crosses, eight shots, and one chance created to go along with one goal during that span of six contests.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eight crosses attempted as winger Lee recorded two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Nantes.

Impact Paris Saint-Germain's team has reverted back to a 4-3-3 formation. Lee has started at right wing for the team only twice, but both times paid great dividends. Lee attempted 20 crosses, 10 corners and six shots across the two appearances. Should the Korean play that position, fantasy managers can rely on him having a quantitative improvement in certain statistical categories.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets second goal in three games Lee scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and seven corners in Friday's 3-0 win versus Montpellier.

Sends in two crosses in win Lee had one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Strasbourg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Impact Lee had a quiet outing during PSG's easy win at home. The midfielder co-led his side in crosses during the match, at least. He also received his second yellow card so far, logging his third start in four appearances after missing some time in international duty.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with gold medal Lee is back with PSG after spending time with the South Korean national team for the Asian games.

Impact Lee will be back in the rotation for PSG after returning from international duty with a brand-new gold medal. The club will be happy to have him back with the team in flying form, scoring three goals and registering one assist in the Asian games. He should get into the preliminary squad immediately with Marco Asensio still injured and could get a nod for the starting XI against Strasbourg due to him being in such high form.

Jurgen Klinsmann earns first home win as coach of South Korea’s national team

On international duty Lee is away with the South Korean U23 squad which kept him out against Marseille on Sunday.

Impact Lee was dealing with a hamstring injury in the lead-up to the club's UCL clash with Dortmund which has also limited his minutes with South Korea. Still, the youngster is expected to be in the international squad for a clash with Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday, raising doubts about whether he will be back in time for PSG's clash with Clermont on Saturday. Even if he is there, Lee will almost certainly be held in reserve as a bench option.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Tuesday Lee (quadriceps) will be available versus Dortmund on Tuesday after being named to the 20-man squad.

Impact Lee has missed the club's previous three matches due to his quad injury but could at least be an option to come off the bench Tuesday. With the addition of Randal Kolo Muani to the squad, Lee could find himself struggling for regular minutes and to break into the starting XI.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Nice match Lee will not be an option for Friday's match against Nice after being left out of the squad list.

Impact Lee will miss yet another match, being left out of the team sheet for the third straight match. He picked this injury up before the international break and was expected to be back to full health by the end of the break but instead, will still need time to recover. There is a decent chance the defender could be back for PSG's Champions League group-stage match against Dortmund.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers quad injury Lee suffered a left quadriceps injury that will sideline him through the upcoming international break, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Lee was forced to exit Saturday's clash with Toulouse after just 51 minutes due to his quadriceps problem. Through the opening two league matches, the forward managed four shots (zero on target), 16 crosses (four accurate) and 11 corners. With Lee having taken 79 percent of the team's corners to open the season, the team could pursue multiple options for the primary corner-taking duties, including Ousmane Dembele.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in first start Lee had 12 crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lorient.

Impact Lee made a good first impression in his debut with PSG, totaling double digit crosses Saturday. He could remain in the starting XI once Neymar and Kylian Mbappe return to the lineup, but will need to keep up his consistent performance with Marco Asensio also an option to start in the wing.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Completes move to PSG Lee has signed a five-year contract with PSG after transferring from Mallorca, the club announced Saturday.

Impact Lee had a real breakout season with Mallorca as he finished with six goals and six assists in La Liga, bettering his tally of three total goal involvements from 2021/22. The 22-year-old is now moving to French champions PSG, where he will likely be a versatile backup option all along the attacking line behind Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Marco Asensio.
