Player to watch – Ramon Hendriks

Ramon Hendriks has been in the Stuttgart starting line-up more often of late and the young centre-half could impress again against Hoffenheim on Sunday.

Hendriks is showing promise

Dutch centre-half Hendriks was one of Stuttgart’s better players against Hoffenheim last weekend and the 23-year-old won eight aerial duals in a dominant showing. Expect Hendriks aerial ability to be a feature of Sunday’s game again.
