Fabian Bäcker is pretty much a homegrown Mönchengladbach player, after spending his early youth at some smaller regional clubs, he moved to Gladbach in 2004. Before being called up for the first team, he's been an important player for the youth teams, including being top scorer last season for the U23 reserve team.
He's both-footed which makes him very versatile, he can play up front, as a winger on both sides, or behind the striker(s). He's quite quick and has an eye for the goal, which he proved in some friendlies during the (short) winter break.
Today, he came in after 63 minutes, making his Bundesliga debut. More on what happened in this game in the last paragraph
Bäcker has also played for Germany as well, representing the U-20 3 times scoring one goal.
