Yan Couto
23-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
Starting Saturday
Couto (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against St. Pauli.
ANALYSIS
After some doubts surrounding Couto due to a knee injury, the Brazilian has recovered adequately and is now starting for the opener. This is great news, with Julian Ryerson (calf) also injured, only able to compete from the bench. Couto should maintain a starting role until Ryerson is deemed fully fit, usually more of a depth option on the flanks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could end up in Germany
Manchester City are ready to part ways with Couto and Dortmund could be his destination, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Couto is not expected to have a role at Manchester City either now or in the future, mainly due to the struggles he's faced defensively during his stint with Girona. Dortmund are interested in landing him if he becomes available, and they could pay up to £25 million for the 22-year-old.
