Bundesliga Team of the Week: Gotze makes first appearance since Bayern move

                                                                           The latest round of Bundesliga fixtures saw Bayern Munich, Schalke, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Lervkusen all win, with the latter's victory coming in controversial fashion. And there were performances across Germany worthy of recognition in Goal's Team of the Week.
In goal, we have Diego Benaglio, the first of three Wolfsburg players included this week following their win over Augsburg in Bavaria.
He is joined by team-mate Robin Knoche in defence, who lines up alongside Johannes van den Berghof Hertha Berlin and Freiburg's rising star Matthias Ginter.
Sidney Sam, the scorer of Leverkusen's first goal at Hoffenheim, features on the right wing alongside Tolagay Arslan of Hamburg and another Hertha star in Per Skjeldbred. The final Wolfsburg player is rising star Maximilian Arnold, while Mario Gotze makes his first appearance after leading Bayern to a 4-1 win over Mainz.
