Busy defensively in loss Hummels had one tackle (zero won), four clearances and three interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact This was a decent showing for the veteran defender during a contest that Manchester City dominated possession throughout.

Five clearances Friday Hummels made five clearances and two interceptions during Friday's 3-1 win over Freiburg.

Impact Hummels has been a nailed-on starter despite the arrival of Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck. While it's uncertain if he will hold onto this role in the long-term with Sule coming back to full fitness, Dortmund did frequently play a five-at-the-back in pre-season. Either way Hummels has little offensive upside at this point in his career, and against most teams he will have little to do defensively.
