"You could already see in the last game in Frankfurt what qualities he has. He's present, has good physicality and a playing quality that he also brought to the pitch here in Augsburg during his 30 minutes," enthused Kovac.
"I really have no concerns about him. On the contrary: I know what he's capable of. We're building him up slowly here.
"I think it's even faster than I imagined, because the lad really has a lot of quality."
