Mats Hummels - Brought off earlyHummels was brought off at halftime during Tuesday's clash with Mainz.

ImpactHummels didn't seem to be struggling with any sort of issue, but it is certainly abnormal to see the veteran defender brought off so early. He will have three full weeks in the winter break to recover if he is dealing with a minor issue. Niklas Sule came on to replace Hummels and could be the long-term option in center-back even when Hummels is fit.

Brajan Gruda - Active display versus HeidenheimGruda had two shots (one on target), created five chances, sent in seven crosses (two accurate), drew five fouls and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Heid...

ImpactGruda made his third consecutive start and once again was a driving force behind Mainz's attack, accumulating five chances created for the second time over the last three games and using his combination of speed and skill to draw lots of fouls. Goals and assists have still to come more regularly for the youngster but he's proving he can be a true difference-maker regardless of how often he scores.
