Player to watch – Nick Woltemade

Nick Woltemade has largely played a peripheral part in Stuttgart’s campaign so far, however, he rarely lets an opportunity to shine pass him by and the 22-year-old scored twice off the bench in his team’s 3-2 comeback win over Union Berlin at the weekend.

Could Woltemade start

Woltemade has scored a goal every 62.33 minutes of action in the Bundesliga this term and has also notched twice in just three appearances in the DFB Pokal, so the forward’s sharp finishing could come in useful for Stuttgart in the Champions League in midweek, provided the youngster gets the nod.
