Holland: Lee has PSV coach Hiddink baffled [Sat Aug 27th, 2005]
PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink admits he does not know if wantaway left-back Lee Young-Pyo will play for the club again after this weekend.
The highly-rated South Korean is desperate to try his luck on a different stage and has been linked with moves to both Monaco and Tottenham recently.
PSV, who saw first-team stars Park Ji-Sung, Mark van Bommel and Johann Vogel depart over the summer, have been keen to keep hold of the 28-year-old as they look to defend their Eredivisie crown.
However it now seems that Hiddink, having again spoken to the player, may be resigned to losing him, even though he expects the defender to be involved for Sunday's league trip to Roda JC.
"Nothing is definitive yet," Hiddink said on www.vi.nl.
"In any case, for now I believe that he will be with us on Sunday. After that I have no idea.
"But if Lee leaves us we must do something. In our current group we do not have an immediate replacement, although right footed players can play in that position too.
"The reason clubs are after our players is because of our success last season."
