Brought off early Hummels was brought off at halftime during Tuesday's clash with Mainz. Impact Hummels didn't seem to be struggling with any sort of issue, but it is certainly abnormal to see the veteran defender brought off so early. He will have three full weeks in the winter break to recover if he is dealing with a minor issue. Niklas Sule came on to replace Hummels and could be the long-term option in center-back even when Hummels is fit.
