Jobe Bellingham has been part of Borussia Dortmund's squad for around four months now. However, the new signing from AFC Sunderland has not yet been able to make his mark on BVB's game and has recently found himself regularly on the bench at kick-off under coach Niko Kovac. As a result, there has already been some unrest around the 20-year-old Englishman. In Dortmund, however, they are relaxed about the situation.

Due to various factors, BVB is confident, according to "Sport Bild", that Bellingham's breakthrough in Dortmund is only a matter of time. Some initial difficulties after the jump from the second-tier Championship to the Bundesliga were indeed expected. The fact that Bellingham is working on himself with frequent, individual training sessions is very closely monitored by the BVB officials, certainly exclusively positively.

Conversation between Watzke and Bellingham

In a team generally trimmed for a high fitness level under coach Kovac, Bellingham has some of the best values according to "Sport Bild", has obviously arrived in the team and has particularly gained a confidant in Felix Nmecha.

Anyway, in Dortmund, it was not expected that Bellingham would immediately become a leader, but rather planned to build up the English U21 national player over a longer period of time, possibly even several years. Club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke recently spoke to Bellingham about this and urged the midfield talent to be patient and keep calm.

Because Watzke and Co. are convinced that Bellingham's time in Dortmund will come.
