Bavarian Loan Works: Alexander Nubel excels in shutout while others stumble
"Nübel has been known in the past seasons for recording a win - or even a clean sheet - without recording a save. On Saturday, he earned a shutout while recording six saves. He also played a ball to teammate that directly led to a shot. With his saves and other defensive stats, he earned the man of the match on several sites. A 79th minute goal from the substitute, Andres, gave Stuttgart a 1-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach."
"Ibrahimovic started for Heidenheim in Leipzig as the home team looked to bounce back from the 6-0 drubbing that Bayern gave them in the Bundesliga opener. He had one shot - a header after a corner from close range that just went over the goal. He only attempted nine passes and completed just five of them. He was pulled off in the 58th minute, as Heidenheim was down 1-0."
Nine first-team players are out on loan, with four in the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Daniel Peretz, and Armando Sieb. Most loanees struggled on the final matchday before the international break. Nübel recorded six saves, kept a clean sheet, delivered a man-of-the-match performance and received a call-up to the German national team for World Cup qualifiers. Ibrahimovic started for Heidenheim, registered one headed shot, completed five of nine passes and was substituted while his side trailed. Peretz sat as HSV's backup and was called into the Israel national team. Stuttgart, Heidenheim and HSV have specified post-break fixtures.
