At the training camp in Austria, along with Virgil, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip (who is rehabbing), there are four young centre backs present: Kijana Hoever, Sepp Van Den Berg, Nat Phillips and Billy Koumetio.
This may signal that Jürgen is looking to fill that need for a 4th centre back from within rather than via a transfer. None of those guys have anything more that the barest first team experience. I guess Phillips played the most at Stuttgart in German Second Division.
We'll see what happens.
