yeah, he seems to be playing more minutes in these months. I assume his teammate Gabriele will be promoted next season, so next year it might be do-or-die year for him (in Freiburg).
Kinoshita scored a brace for Freiburg II vs Wormatia Worms on Saturday. The team drew 3-3. Also, he was an unused sub for Freiburg senior team in their DFB-Pokal match at the start of the season.

I think it's mostly about the SD, Todd. He was at Bochum if I remember correctly so he has a long history of working with japanese players.
On trial with 1. FC Nürnberg. Played in their U21 Friendly. Michael Köllner wechselt fleißig durch. Auch Testspieler Kosuke Kinoshita darf sich nun präsentieren. Die zweite Hälfte läuft. #fcn— 1. FC Nürnberg (@1_fc_nuernberg) August 9, 2016
