"Nübel started for Stuttgart in Switzerland against FC Basel in their second Europa League match. He recorded two saves, but also conceded two goals - one in the third minute and one in the 84th minute by former Bayern man Xheridan Shaqiri. The only bright note for Nübel was his 94% pass completion rate. Stuttgart was unable to score and they fell 2-0 on the road."
"Ibrahimović started for Heidenheim and struggled against Nübel's Stuttgart. He was unable to get a shot off, nor was he able to create a chance for his teammates to shoot. He played 89 minutes before being subbed off. Heidenheim were in it until the end, but fell 1-0 after not testing Nübel enough. Heidenheim will host Werder Bremen after the international break."
"Stuttgart returned home - and to Bundesliga play - on Sunday with a match against Ibrahimovic and Heidenheim. He did not face very as many shots in this match, requiring just one save to record a comfortable shutout. Stuttgart scored a second half goal to earn all three points at home. Stuttgart will travel to take on Wolfsburg after the international break. Nübel has been called up to the German National Team as they host Luxembourg and travel to take on Northern Ireland."
Nine first-team players are out on loan, including four in the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Arijon Ibrahimović, Daniel Peretz, and Armando Sieb. Johnathan Asp Jensen impressed in Switzerland while Armando Sieb returned from injury. One loanee's team surrendered a 3-0 lead after the 89th minute. Nübel conceded twice in a 2-0 Europa League defeat to FC Basel but posted a 94% pass completion rate, then kept a clean sheet in a Bundesliga win requiring one save. Ibrahimović started for Heidenheim, created no chances and was substituted after 89 minutes in a 1-0 loss. Peretz sat on the bench for Hamburg’s 4-0 win and received an Israel call-up for World Cup qualifiers. Several loanees will join national squads during the upcoming international break.
