Borussia’s Player of the Month for December is Yann Sommer. The Swiss goalkeeper automatically won the award presented by Cichon Personalmanagement.
It definitely wasn’t a good month for the Foals. After ending November with a 4-1 defeat in the derby at 1. FC Köln, December began with three straight defeats to Freiburg (6-0 H), RB Leipzig (4-1 A) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-2 H). The final game before the turn of the year saw the Foals draw 1-1 away at TSG Hoffenheim.
Yann Sommer was voted by the fans as Man of the Match via the Fohlen-App for all four of these games. The Swiss goalkeeper prevented his side from conceding even more goals, and played a massive role in the team coming away from Sinsheim last time out with a point.
In December, Sommer also broke Oscar Wendt’s record for the most appearances for Borussia for a foreign player. He has now featured 307 times in all competitions for the club. As a result of these reasons, there was no vote for this month’s Player of the Month and Sommer was automatically awarded with the title.
