The shortlist for the Bundesliga’s Player of the Month award for December has been announced.
The six-man shortlist is made up of two players from table toppers Bayern Munich, another two from third placed Bayer Leverkusen, and then one each from Borussia Monchengladbach and Freiburg.
Here is a closer look at each of the nominees.
Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski once again starred for Bayern Munich in the last month. After drawing a blank in the 3-3 draw against RB Leipzig, the Poland international netted the equaliser against Union Berlin, then bagged consecutive braces against Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
