Huh, who is that?
BVB coach Marco Rose surprises against Wolfsburg with a new young star at left-back: Tom Rothe (17)!
Guerreiro injured, Schulz battered – Rose trusts in Rothe.
The U19 player was allowed to train with the pros this week and made a good impression there. He already showed great performances in the Youth League and the U19 Bundesliga.
From the U19 to the starting XI!
Rest for ex-national player Nico Schulz (28), who had recently failed with a torn muscle fiber. Wolfsburg loan Pongracic, who could have slipped into central defence, also remains on the bench.
A direct challenge awaits Rothe against Wolfsburg. On his left side of defence, he has to deal with national player Ridle Baku and Danish star Jonas Wind.
Also in the squad: Lion Semic (18) and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (17), who was there against Stuttgart.
It is likely that all three will be part of the Bundesliga squad next season.
