Career
Neustädter began his career in 1. FSV Mainz 05's youth team, before being promoted to Mainz 05 II in July 2006.[2] After playing in Mainz's first team during the 2008–09 season, he signed a three-year contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach.[3] With die Fohlen, Neustädter enjoyed a particularly successful 2011–12 season, finishing fourth and qualifying for the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League.
At the end of the 2011–2012 season, Neustädter left Mönchengladbach and joined Schalke 04 on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract running until 30 June 2016.[4]

Neustädter, who was born in Ukraine, has indicated that he would be likely to accept a call-up if asked. He would first require a Ukrainian passport in order to be eligible for national team duties.[8]
On 9 November 2012, Neustädter was called up for the Germany squad to face the Netherlands five days later.[9][10] He made his debut for Germany in this match as a late substitute for Schalke team-mate Lewis Holtby.
