I actually forgot Bastien's was a thing - I've mentally conflated his latter career with that of u17 Germany star Bopp, who I remember from his academy 'star' days.

Eugen Bopp did get two caps at under-19 level for Germany…

In my head there were very high hopes for him around the Hart era (?), based on his very high technical level?
Yes, he was one for whom there were high expectations, but it never really panned out that way.

Felix Bastians (who I think you’re confusing him with) post-Forest, represented SC Freiburg, VfL Bochum and Rot-Weiß Essen, with some distinction. He was also capped at under-21 level for Germany.

I've definitely confused their post forest career, but think I'm remembering forest period Bopp correctly. (worryingly I've forgotten Bastian's completely for us, though have clearly followed his career post believing him to be someone else! @Bonfy177 would understand I'm sure)

I’d be scrutinising his family tree right now if I was a national team manager 😂
I think he’d walk into most other nations midfield right now.

Remember Eugene Bopp - massive things expected of him from an early age due to his technical level iirc. Didn't he have a good career after converting to full back?
No to the full back link as others have mentioned - but his technical level when he arrived from Bayern was seen as well ahead of his peers at Forest.
And - for what it’s worth - such a nice, humble bloke ( speak with him regularly ).

I meant to say earlier that I noticed he hobbled off down the tunnel after he was substituted, hoping it was only a little knock as we certainly need him available!

That was proper baller stuff, ball coming out of the clouds, close to the touchline and under pressure and he just killed it tight to his body.
They showed this in the post-match analysis on MotD last night. It was a good little section actually, very complimentary.

Nah - it was only the last international break when 'everyone' was of the opinion that we should shuffle him into an unpreferred midfield role to make room for the world-beating ...Mexico-beating Reyna to play as the '10', so we'll be even better without him.

He then jogged down the tunnel, seemingly unimpeded, a little later. Hopefully, it was nothing more than a touch of cramp earlier?

I'm sure I remember him taking his seat in the dug-out. At the end of the game, he was certainly in the dugout as there was footage of him jumping out to celebrate.

Edit: found the moment when he was subbed and climbing into the dugout

Now playing for Basford United I believe. Wrecked by a Derby tackle!

Yeah, he then left the bench and went down the tunnel limping. I was sat right above the tunnel for this game. I didn't notice him come back out, but presumably he was wrapped up at that point.

Perhaps he was doing what I would do and make out that the reason I had been subbed was because I was injured and not rubbish!

I was amazed by how often Toffolo went back into the dressing room before he came on.

Another season and he will do him a world of good, he will have half the league at his feet but we have seen players heads turned to early before and if he goes it won't be the last one.

His agent is CAA Stellar - their other notable clients include Jack Grealish, Ivan Toney, James Ward-Prowse, Kobbie Mainoo, Ezri Konza, Luke Shaw, Ben Chilwell and Kalvin Phillips.
Not sure he'll be getting the best career advice in terms of moving too early based on that lot (bit of a mixed bag).

Toffs was checking up on his Acca.
