Schalke's Uchida makes Bundesliga Team of the Year

Schalke defender Atsuto Uchida has been named in the German Bundesliga Team of the Year on Bundesliga.com.

The 26-year old Japan international was named in the right-back position following a consistent 2013/14 campaign for the Gelsenkirchen club.

Former Kashima Antlers ace Uchida made just 17 appearances because of injury but still landed 72% of Bundesliga.com users' votes to be a clear winner in his position.

Uchida, who joined Schalek in 2010, has now been voted into the best eleven for the past two seasons.
