Lucas Hernández being benched against Schalke despite his strong performance against Augsburg raised question marks within the club's leadership. Hernández remains in competition with Alphonso Davies for the left-back spot with David Alaba undisputed at CB [@Plettigoal, @SPORT1] 
Davies, who is experiencing a drop in form this season, continues to enjoy the confidence of Flick. The latter wants to give Davies confidence and game time in order to get his form back, because in his top form, the Canadian represents the game Flick wants to see [@Plettigoal]
Hernández, whose mentality is hugely valued by Flick, played well vs Augsburg, but is too inconsistent in his performances & often reveals weaknesses in the build-up game. However, Lucas could get another chance v Hoffenheim after Davies failed to impress vs Schalke [@Plettigoal]
The club expects Flick to permanently integrate Hernández into the starting XI. Not least because of the huge transfer fee that has been invested in him. Flick, on the other hand, has shown that he sets up his XI solely based on the sporting value for the team [@Plettigoal]
