The big mercenary check: Big credit for Sommer, Amdouni strikes

Christian Finkbeiner And Carlo Emanuele Frezza

Noah Loosli (Bochum): Has hip problems and is therefore not part of the selection for the 3-1 win against Wolfsburg.

Cédric Zesiger (Wolfsburg): Play the game in Bochum. However, he cannot prevent the 1:3 defeat.

Gregor Kobel (Dortmund): In the top match against Leverkusen (1:1), the BVB keeper has to reach behind himself. Otherwise he cuts a good figure.

Nico Elvedi (Gladbach): Serves as a central defender in the back three. After a yellow card in the 54th minute, he was immediately substituted and saw all the goals of the match in the 2-1 win against Hoffenheim from the bench.

Jonas Omlin (Gladbach): Due to his shoulder surgery in September, he will not play again this year.

Kevin Mbabu (Augsburg): Remains on the field throughout the match. He and his teammates recorded a narrow 2-1 victory against Frankfurt.

Ruben Vargas (Augsburg): Came on as a substitute against Frankfurt when the score was 2-0 in the 67th minute. But it can’t do anything worth counting anymore.

Silvan Widmer (Mainz): After a successful comeback last week, the Nati player suffered a 0-1 defeat against Freiburg with Mainz. The captain is changed in the 86th minute.

Edimilson Fernandes (Mainz): The regular player suffered an injury during the last training and was not in the selection against Freiburg (0-1).

Granit Xhaka (Leverkusen): Nati’s captain continues to play as usual and plays a solid match against Dortmund (1:1).

Filip Stojilkovic (Darmstadt): The ex-Sion player waited almost three months to play. With the 0-1 defeat against Cologne, the time has finally come again. The striker comes on as a substitute in the 82nd minute.

Leonidas Stergiou (Stuttgart): Did not play in the 2-0 win against Werder Bremen.

Manuel Akanji (Man City): Plays as a defensive midfielder for the third time in a row. And for the third time in a row, City only drew in the league. This time against Tottenham (3:3).

Zeki Amdouni (Burnley): Burnley wins the basement match against Sheffield United (5-0). Amdouni played a major role in this. In the 73rd minute he scored his second Premier League goal to make it 3–0. Just 120 seconds later he scored the goal to make it 4-0. He gets off work on the 77th, the day before his 23rd birthday.

Fabian Schär (Newcastle): The new management at FC Wil continued to play against Manchester United (1-0) and, together with his colleagues, kept a clean sheet defensively. With this victory, the Magpies overtake the Red Devils in the rankings.

Eray Comert (Nantes): Played through in central defense in the 1-0 win against Nice.

Yvon Mvogo (Lorient): Standing between the posts as usual in the 1-1 draw in Toulouse. Has no chance of scoring a goal.

Becir Omeragic (Montpellier): Plays on the right side of the three-man chain and was one of his side’s best in the 2-0 defeat in Monaco, according to L’Equipe.

Vincent Sierro (Toulouse): The captain plays on against Lorient (1-1), but cannot prevent Toulouse from conceding the equalizer in injury time and has now gone seven league games in a row without a win.

Breel Embolo (Monaco): He is still recovering after tearing his ACL in the summer.

Philipp Köhn (Monaco): Keeps his frame tight in the 2-0 win against Montpellier – partly thanks to one or two strong saves.

Denis Zakaria (Monaco): Plays through in defensive midfield and does his bit to ensure Monaco stay in the top 3.

Fabian Rieder (Rennes): After his dream goal in the Europa League against Maccabi Haifa, he languished on the bench for 90 minutes in the 2-0 defeat in Marseille.

Jordan Lotomba (Nice): Comes on in the 81st minute in the 0-1 defeat in Nantes, but cannot prevent Nice’s first defeat of the season.

Ricardo Rodriguez (Turin): Plays against Atalanta on Monday evening.

Noah Okafor (Milan): Suffered a muscle injury during the last Nati match. Just like last week, he was also missing against Frosinone (3:1).

Michel Aebischer (Bologna): The Freiburger wears the captain’s armband again against Lecce (1:1) and proves how important he is for the team’s defensive work. However, when playing ahead, it is not always accurate. Makes way for Nati colleague Freuler in the 58th.

Remo Freuler (Bologna): Comes against Lecce (1:1) in the 58th for Aebischer. Directly into the game.

Dan Ndoye (Bologna): Was in the starting line-up against Lecce (1-1) and delivered real results. In the first half he is the only one at Bologna who dares to do something offensively and has assertiveness. The “Gazzetta dello Sport” and other Italian newspapers gave him the best rating in Thiago Motta’s team. Plays until the 85th minute.

Yann Sommer (Inter): Inter wins away match against Napoli 3-0. At the same time, all of Italy is enthusiastic about our national goalkeeper, who has only been called up a few times but looks excellent. “Another phenomenal evening for the summer,” headlines the Gazzetta. “Half of the victory is due to him,” says “Tuttosport”. “The summer stops Naples from the beginning, after which the Nerazzurri dominate the entire field,” analyzes “Corriere della Sera”.

Silvan Hefti (Genoa): The right back was again unused against Empoli (1-1).

Djibril Sov (Seville): Had another replacement done last week. He was back in the starting line-up against Villarreal (1:1) and continued to play. Sees yellow for a foul in the 48th minute of the first half.

Miro Muheim (Hamburg): The left back played against St. Pauli (2:2) in the Hamburg city derby.

Jasper van der Werff (Rostock): For the first time this season not included in the selection for the 2-2 draw in Karlsruhe.

Jan Elvedi (Kaiserslautern): The crisis does not end against Magdeburg either. With the 1:4, Kaiserslautern suffered a bitter defeat with Elvedi as central defender in the three-man chain.

Saulo Decarli (Braunschweig): The central defender cannot participate in the match against Greuther Fürth due to a head injury. He has to watch the bitter 1-0 defeat as a spectator.

Carlo Brunner (Schalke): The right back came on as a substitute against Osnabrück in the 73rd minute after the 4-0 win.

Martin Angha (Wehen-Wiesbaden): Played in the central defense position in the 2-3 defeat in Kiel.

Haris Tabakovic (Hertha Berlin): Played 59 minutes in the 5-1 win over Elversberg. However, the neo-international from Bosnia-Herzegovina neither scored nor provided an assist.

Christian Fassnacht (Norwich): Plays a half-hour match against Bristol City (2-1). Replaced in the 62nd.

Simon Sohm (Parma): Saw the red card on the substitute bench in the derby against Modena a week ago. So I have to watch Sunday’s victory against Spezia (1-0) from the stands.

Pajtim Kasami (Sampdoria): Presented himself very nervously against Brescia (1:3). Gets a yellow card after just 24 minutes for complaining. He does very little with and without the ball this weekend. In the 71st he completed his work.

Natan Girma (Reggiana): Did a lot of defensive work in the Derby della Secchia against Modena (1:2) – named after the river that separates the two provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia. The attacking midfielder has little influence in the future. Replaced in the 72nd.

Michael Frey (Antwerp): The striker is on the sidelines with coach Mark van Bommel. In the 1-0 win against Leuven it was again not enough for the team.

Stefan Knezevic (Charleroi): The defender continues to play in the 0-0 draw against Molenbeek.

Leo Seydoux (Westerlo): The first performance of the season has been a long time coming. Even in the 3-1 defeat against Anderlecht, the ex-YB junior did not make the selection.

Cameron Puertas (Saint-Gilles): This time, the undisputed regular doesn’t deliver any game-winning plays. He was substituted in the 91st minute of the 2-0 win over Cercle Brugge.

Andi Zeqiri (Genk): After ten league matches in a row, the Nati player only made it to the bench this time. His teammates drew 2-2 against Ghent.

Steven Zuber (AEK Athens): Will only play against Aris Saloniki on Monday.

Noam Baumann (OFI Crete): For the goalkeeper it is an evening to quickly forget. He gets no fewer than four stalls against leader Panathinaikos Athens. In the end the result was a clear 0:4 defeat.

Petar Pusić (Osijek): Started in the 0-0 draw against Rijeka. After 89 minutes his working day is over.

Josip Drmic (Dinamo Zagreb): Not in the selection for the 2-0 win against FC Astana.

Gokhan Inler (Besiktas Istanbul): He made the selection against Ankaragücü (1-1), but it was not enough to play.

Albian Ajeti (Gaziantep FK): After his healed muscle tear, he made his first short appearance in the 2–4 defeat to Kasimpasa. He comes on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.

Marco Burch (Legia Warsaw): The ex-FCL player is not in the selection for the 3-0 win over Zaglebie Lubin.

Oliver Buff (Vilnius): The season is over in Lithuania, Buff finished in second place with Zalgiris Vilnius.

Kwadwo Duah (Ludogorets Razgrad): Former Espen are doing well: in the 5-0 win against Botev Vratsa, he was on the field from the start and thanked his coach for this with a goal. After 64 minutes it’s time for work. The striker now has five goals after eight league games.

Haris Seferovic (Al Wasl): Proving his prankster qualities, the old Nati striker needed just five minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute before scoring to make the final score 4-1.

Xherdan Shaqiri (Chicago Fire): The season is over for him since the last Nati qualifier (0-1 in Romania).

Maren Haile-Selassie (Chicago Fire): His season is over after missing the playoffs with Chicago.

Roman Burki (St. Louis): The season is over for the best goalkeeper of the MLS season after being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
