Borussia Dortmund is facing the first English week of the season. On Saturday there needs to be an improved performance at SC Freiburg, on Tuesday they go into the tough Champions League away game at Paris Saint-Germain. The personnel situation at the Black and Yellows has improved compared to the start of the season. There is also good news for Niclas Füllkrug.
Filling jug failure averted
The striker had missed the two international matches against Japan and France due to muscular problems and was quickly listed by temporary team boss Rudi Völler as a virtual certainty for the game in Breisgau. The statement is said to have caused astonishment in Dortmund, and lo and behold: According to a report on Friday, the 30-year-old belonged to the club Ruhr News to the runner-up’s travel group. Since there are exactly 20 players on board, which is how many are allowed to be in the matchday squad, there are no unpleasant surprises to be expected on Saturday.
Reyna and Duranville are still missing
Head coach Edin Terzic can most likely plan with the reigning co-top scorer in the Bundesliga. However, the trainer does not yet have a potential foreman for Füllkrug available again. Gio Reyna, who recently celebrated his comeback in a U23 test after recovering from an injury in the summer, has not yet made it into the squad. Particular caution should be exercised when it comes to the American because of his many setbacks in recent years. In addition to Reyna, Julien Duranville may also be missing for the last time; the Belgian has largely put his muscular problems behind him.
