Six of our players were in action for their loan clubs over the weekend. 

Scroll down to find out how they fared: 

Reiss Nelson scored his first goal of 2019 on Saturday, coming off the bench to double Hoffenheim’s lead in their 2-0 win over Hertha. 

Nadiem Amiri opened the scoring with a low drive from the edge of the box, before Nelson scored within seven minutes of being introducing, heading home at the far post to secure all three points. 

Krystian Bielik claimed as assist in Charlton’s convincing 3-1 win over Luton on Saturday. 

Harry Cornick handed the visitors an early lead, before Lyle Taylor equalised from the spot in the 54th minute. 

Shortly after Bielik regained possession high up the field, lost his marker and played through Igor Vetokele, who made no mistake with his first-time finish. Taylor then went on to score his second of the afternoon in the 72nd minute.
