Impact Thuram was the last name on the list after scoring 10 times and logging three assists in 15 starts. His numbers compare quite well to his attacking compatriots, but an exceptionally deep pool means he has to score at a high rate just to squeak into the squad. Thuram also played briefly during the Euros in 2021, making two appearances off the bench.

Thuram will hope to keep this red-hot form going as he continues an absolute onslaught on his contract year.

Impact Thuram scored his fourth goal of the campaign, but it was little more than a consolation prize as Gladbach were utterly outplayed.

Thuram will take on newly-promoted Werder Bremen on the other side of the international break.

Returns in finale Thuram returned from a hamstring injury in the final match of the campaign against Hoffenheim.
Impact Thuram had a disappointing and injury-riddled campaign, making 21 appearances (nine starts), by far the fewest he's made in a season so far in his senior career. The forward was dealing with injuries, and simply found himself out of the starting XI when fit. Thuram is still only 24 and certainly has the potential to bounce back in 2022/23, but he needs to find some early form to compete with the wealth of attacking options Gladbach can bring to bear.
