The former Dortmund defender has yet to make his debut in yellow-red.

Last night, almost two months after his arrival in Rome, all the yellow-red fans were expecting to see Mats Hummels start against an unremarkable Dinamo Kiev. However, in the end, as has been happening for several weeks, the ex-Dortmund player was again relegated to the bench, warming up throughout the second half without getting the opportunity to make his debut. Just a few minutes ago, Mats himself posted a photo on social media that reads: “It was a crucial victory for us yesterday. Thank you so much Roma fans for the love you showed me at the stadium, for when you meet me in the city, and for your messages.” The love and support that the fans showed was profoundly evident yet again yesterday. At the end of the pre-match warm-up, as he was the last to return to the locker room, he was met with enthusiastic applause from the South Bend and Monte Mario ends.
