Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Lombard has built a clear identity as a high-volume tackler, averaging 3.6 tackles per game with a single-match peak of 15 — numbers that point to consistent defensive impact in limited minutes. His carrying is deliberately sparse, suggesting his primary value when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than generate go-forward. The consistency of that output across multiple competitions underlines a focused, reliable role within the forward group.
Born on 7 October 2002, Sebastian is 23 years old, stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 126kg.
