Borussia Dortmund Team News

Under the guidance of Niko Kovač, Dortmund have made a solid beginning, currently placed fourth in the league table with four points from their opening two games. The Black and Yellow secured a dominant 3-0 win against Union Berlin following a thrilling 3-3 draw with St. Pauli in their first fixture.

Despite their good form, Dortmund are dealing with multiple injury setbacks. Captain Emre Can is sidelined with a groin injury, and Niklas Süle won’t be available until mid-October due to a calf issue. Nico Schlotterbeck is still in recovery mode from a knee injury sustained earlier this year, while new recruit Fábio Silva remains out with a muscle problem.

Julian Brandt faces uncertainty as he battles to return from wrist surgery, which caused him to miss recent international duty with Germany. Additionally, Julien Duranville is ruled out with a shoulder injury.

On the transfer front, Dortmund have bolstered their squad by bringing in key players such as Carney Chukwuemeka, Yan Couto, and the promising Jobe Bellingham. Aaron Anseomino made an immediate impact after being introduced into the starting lineup against Union Berlin, effectively stepping in for the suspended Filippo Mane, earning positive feedback from the coach.
