Will Sabitzer and Süle face Inter? Clear signs from Dortmund | OneFootball

Can Marcel Sabitzer and Niklas Süle participate in the Champions League final against Inter Milan? At BVB, there is a clear trend before the important match.

A clear personnel trend is emerging at Borussia Dortmund before the Champions League final against Inter Milan: Marcel Sabitzer and Niklas Süle are expected to be absent for BVB. As reported by the WAZ, both players did not participate in the final training session in Brackel on Tuesday and instead worked individually in the functional building.

Sabitzer is still struggling with a calf injury, and Süle is being held back by back problems. For the central defender, a deployment on Wednesday evening seems too early. Therefore, coach Niko Kovac will have to improvise again in the group final. The personnel situation is becoming increasingly tight, especially in midfield. Salih Özcan is not registered for the Champions League, and Pascal Groß has left the team.

Much suggests that Felix Nmecha and Jobe Bellingham will form the central midfield. Not all options are available in defense either. Aaron Anselmino has already departed after being recalled by FC Chelsea and bid an emotional farewell to his teammates.

Red card suspension against Inter: Daniel Svensson also missing for BVB

Additionally, Daniel Svensson is missing due to a red card suspension. However, there were positive signals from the final training session: According to RUHR24, the present players showed great commitment and were in good spirits. A sprint duel between Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck was reportedly intense, but overall, there was a relaxed, focused atmosphere.

Sportingly, BVB enters the duel with the Italian top club with a special starting position. With eleven points, Dortmund currently ranks 16th in the league phase. Mathematically, both a direct leap into the top eight and a drop out of the playoff ranks are still possible – but both are considered rather unrealistic. Inter, the Serie A leader and last year's finalist, has already secured the knockout round and is traveling with a high-profile squad.

For the Black and Yellows, the motto is still to build on the stable performance in the 3-0 away win at Union Berlin. Even without Sabitzer and Süle, BVB wants to make a statement in the home game against Inter and secure the best possible starting position for the upcoming knockout matches.
