Who shone, who fell short? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.
Germany
Dortmund
Gregor Kobel
Dortmund win the chasing duel in Leverkusen 2:1. Kobel is there when he's needed - he's powerless against the goal.
Stuttgart
Luca Jaquez
Jaquez was recently ruled out with adductor problems and now a thigh injury prevents him from playing. Without him, Stuttgart lost 2-1 away to HSV.
Stuttgart
Leonidas Stergiou
After his lengthy foot injury, he is still waiting to make his first appearance of the season for the Stuttgart professionals.

Schmidt will not play for Bremen.
Frankfurt
Aurèle Amenda
Amenda does not play in the 1:1 draw against Wolfsburg.
Gladbach
Nico Elvedi
After three wins in a row recently, Gladbach once again had to settle for a point. But because their opponents are RB Leipzig and are second in the table, that is still respectable.

Gladbach

He is currently out with adductor problems.
Mainz 05
Silvan Widmer
Mainz are without a chance in Freiburg and lose 4-0, with Widmer sitting on the bench for 90 minutes.
Freiburg
Johan Manzambi
Manzambi continues to impress for Freiburg. After scoring against Bayern Munich the previous week, he followed up with another goal against Mainz. From around 13 meters, he leaves the Mainz goalkeeper no chance of defending. The international youngster even scored a second goal, but the VAR ruled it out for offside.
Freiburg
Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus
The U21 international still has to wait for his first professional appearance of the season.
Augsburg
Cédric Zesiger
Zesiger is back in the Augsburg starting eleven for the first time since September 27. However, he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity. FCA went down 3-0 at Hoffenheim - and Zesiger also scored an own goal. After a cross, he is shot down by a team-mate.
Augsburg
Fabian Rieder
Augsburg are weak at the back and not much is happening up front either. Rieder is allowed to play through, but is unlucky.
England
Sunderland

Nottingham have been strong of late under new manager Sean Dyche, but once again came away losers on Sunday. Ndoye was substituted at the break in the 2-0 defeat to Brighton.
Burnley
Zeki Amdouni
Amdouni will be out for a while with his knee injury.
Italy
Inter Milan

Inter Milan
Manuel Akanji
Akanji also did a decent job without attracting much attention.
Pisa
Michel Aebischer
Aebischer plays in central midfield for Pisa.
Pisa
Daniel Denoon
Denoon misses the game against Inter with an ankle injury.

Stade Rennes
Breel Embolo
Embolo had temporarily lost his starting place, but against Metz the international striker was once again allowed to start. He played through and provided the assist for the winning 1:0, latching onto the ball with his chest in the usual Embolo manner and laying it off to his team-mate.
Marseille
Ulisses Garcia
Marseille concede a 2:2 equalizer against Toulouse in stoppage time. Bitter, because OM could have taken the lead in the table with a win. Garcia sits on the bench for 90 minutes.
Le Havre
Felix Mambimbi
He was substituted in the 80th minute against Lille with the score at 0-0 - and had to watch the visitors score the winning goal shortly before the end while short-handed.
Lorient
Yvon Mvogo
Mvogo still has to wait for his first clean sheet of the season. But that won't matter to him, as Lorient beat Nice 3:1. In the second half, Mvogo saved his team from conceding a goal with a brilliant save.
