Leeds United fans are concerned for Robin Koch's confidence after the defender featured for Germany in their shock 6-0 defeat to Spain.
The Whites centre-back played the full 90 minutes as Germany were thrashed in the Nations League game, which saw Spain secure their passage to the finals.
Ferran Torres netted a hat-trick in the game, with his Manchester City teammate Rodri also netting alongside Alvaro Morata and Mikel Oyarzabal.
With Leeds having suffered back-to-back 4-1 defeats before the international break, it has been a month to forget for Koch and fans are worried about the impact the results will have had on the 24-year-old's confidence.
Koch put in a below-par performance in the game but he was certainly not the worst Germany player on the pitch.
Beleaguered Germany coach Joachim Low set his side up in a formation that offered very little protection to his back four, which allowed Spain's attackers to run riot
Koch failed to track runners and was found out of position too often as Spain applied near-constant pressure.
Yet he was featuring in a back four he had not played with before and this was his third match in the space of a week, coming midway through a season in which he has also played a key role for Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds side.
With Diego Llorente yet to reach full fitness, it seems unlikely that Koch will be given much of a rest any time soon.
The Whites host Arsenal on Sunday evening, kicking off a tough run of games that also sees them face Everton, Chelsea, West Ham United, Newcastle United and Manchester United ahead of the festive period.
Bielsa will be hoping Koch can regain some form ahead of what is set to be a pivotal period that could go a long way to deciding how successful Leeds' first season back in the Premier League will be.
