Felix Nmecha

Analysis: Nmecha was issued the starting role in the midfield Sunday over Leon Goretzka and did well with his time on the field, quickly breaking through and scoring in the sixth minute. Despite lining up in a more defensive role, he would see plenty of work in the attack due to the control Germany had on the match, recording a solid four shots. The main question is whether this was enough to maintain the starting role, as Goretzka is the more veteran pick in that role, and a slightly more defensive option.

Bench option

Nmecha (knee) is on the bench for Friday's match against Frankfurt.

Analysis: Nmecha has made the team sheet Friday after he was a late call, appearing to have passed his testing. He will likely look to return to a starting role ahead of the season finale, starting in 24 of his 27 appearances this season while recording two goals and three assists.
