SC Freiburg have been on a bit of a roll in the Bundesliga thus far. Unbeaten in their previous four matches, they're level on points with the champions Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, and just two behind current leaders Borussia Monchengladbach.

A number of players have supplied the goods and racked up cohesive, all-round and consistent performances for the Breisgau-Brasilianer.

That promising start runs collaterally with Germany's injury problems. Ahead of his side's clash against 2014 FIFA World Cup runners-up Argentina, Joachim Low is extremely short-staffed, with players such as Timo Werner, Marco Reus, Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan set to remain sidelined.

As a result, he's drafted young Robin Koch into the side. At just 23 years of age, the defender has completed 50 league appearances for his club. He's been in fine form this season at the heart of a three-man backline.

He has accomplished five appearances for the U-21 side, and is in line to make his debut for the national squad, although there's competition for spots with Hertha Berlin defender Niklas Stark.
