What is a 'right-back'?
A right-back is a defensive player positioned on the right side of the pitch. Their role involves stopping opposition attacks, but also supporting their team's offensive plays by running down the wing. Germany has been looking for a consistent right-back since Philipp Lahm retired, making Felix Keidel's potential call-up notable.
