Player to watch – Ritsu Doan

Freiburg cult hero Ritsu Doan has been enjoying a terrific campaign in 2024/25 and the versatile Japanese attacker has been chipping in with bags of match-changing moments in the Bundesliga.

Electric Doan can make an impact

Doan has scored eight goals and laid on four assists for his teammates this season and the 26-year-old should be a nuisance against an out-of-form RB Leipzig side on Saturday.
