Player to watch – Myron Boadu

Myron Boadu has been troubled by injuries this season though he can be a real goal-scoring presence for Bochum if he can remain fit for the rest of the campaign.

Boadu shows his class

Boadu has unreleased potential to tap and the 24-year-old showed glimpses of his talent plundered a fantastic hattrick in Bochum’s 3-3 draw with RB Leipzig last weekend. Boadu should have a deep well of confidence to draw from against Gladbach following his three-goal salvo.
