Loan player check: a look at how our sextet are faring | OneFootball

New roles, successes and injury blows

A group of six players are currently on loan at other clubs until the end of the season. In this edition of our loan player check, we take a look at Hannover, Derby and Graz to update you on our loan boys' progress.

Hendry Blank | Hannover 96

Hannover have been without Marcus Mann, their former head of sport for a few days now - but they will still have the 21-year-old centre-back. Coach Christian Titz has not been selecting Hendry, however, with the defender waiting patiently since the end of October – partly due to injury – as they battle for promotion in Bundesliga 2.

Bobby Clark | Derby County

The Geordie native had already been a regular starter in his natural number 10 role, but since switching to the defensive midfield position against Queens Park Rangers two months ago, Bobby has flourished. "The rest is history!" said Bobby himself in an interview with BBC Sport. Since the switch, the one-time U20 international has been in the starting XI all the time, helping his team climb from the bottom of the Championship table to the middle of the standings.

Adam Daghim | VfL Wolfsburg

There was a tough start to the season in Wolfsburg, which can't be blamed on the speedy Dane – after all, he was the Wolves' only goalscorer for a spell five matches, netting both goals. Things have chanced since then though as former coach Paul Simonis – the bald Dutchman sometimes dubbed the Gouda Guardiola – had to leave, and interim coach Daniel Bauer became the permanent solution. After a six-week wait, the new coach can once again call upon Adam, who has overcome a back problem.

Gaoussou Diakite | FC Lausanne-Sport

The skillful player was particularly impressive in the first few months of the season, being a match-winner in the Swiss Super League against Winterthur, Young Boys Bern and Basel. His two goals also played a key role in ensuring that Lausanne Sport will remain in the UEFA Conference League in the new year. At club level, Gaoussou's performances have been somewhat inconsistent recently, but internationally he is reaching new heights: in October, the striker made his World Cup qualifying debut for Mali, and he is currently with his national team at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Leandro Morgalla | VfL Bochum

As we mentioned in our most recent loan player check, Bochum initially struggled to adapt to their new surroundings following relegation from the Bundesliga. The Ruhr club has now firmly established itself in the second tier, thanks in no small part to our export. The right-back is a regular starter and has clearly played a significant role in their current success: since mid-October, Bochum have suffered only one league defeat – Leo was suspended for that match.

Zeteny Jano | Grazer AK

Zizi is the unlucky one in this list, having suffered a serious foot injury in an away game against Rapid Vienna a few weeks ago – just as he was starting to find his form. Initially, there was some cause for optimism, but now, according to GAK sporting director Tino Wawra, the season is likely to be over for the U21 international. We're keeping our fingers crossed for him and wish him a speedy recovery!
