Player to watch – Chris Fuhrich

Chris Fuhrich was Stuttgart’s man of the match when they last faced RB Leipzig in January and the winger’s silky technique and appreciation of space should make him a potent outlet for his team again on Wednesday.

Flanksman Fuhrich could be influential

Fuhrich completed four dribbles and had two shots when Stuttgart beat RB Leipzig in January and the fleet-footed winger could do more damage against the same defence in Wednesday’s crucial semi-final clash.
