The 2016-year-old midfielder has been under contract with Werder Bremen since 19. Everyone on the Weser is convinced of the South Tyrolean's potential, but Straudi is constantly struggling with injuries.

Straudi has been back in team training this week. His brother Fabian Straudi (18 years old) continually collects appearances for the U19, even if he is not a regular player.

The Obervinschger is a top performer for the Austrian third division club. In the current season, the central defender has always been in the starting line-up.
