i fear so too. i read something about löw testing him as a fullback even - a position where his lack of speed would be even more obvious? it's ridiculous really...
tbh, i don't even think he's a bad player. he did pretty well (for his age) in several games (for bayern) and he would make for a very decent defensive mid imo. but again, we DO have better options for that position (in weigl, khedira, can...) and we certainly should NOT play him as cb, simple as that...
Don't think he'll play CB
I believe Löw will try to use him for LB/RB instead of calling up Schmelzer who ain't more than a solid player but had a great season
