With Nmecha, Süle and Adeyemi? BVB squad for Frankfurt | OneFootball

Before the final home match of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund had been hoping for several returning players. Now the squad decision has been made regarding BVB stars Felix Nmecha, Niklas Süle, and Karim Adeyemi

Borussia Dortmund will once again be able to call on several recently injured players for the final home game of the season. Coach Niko Kovac has included Felix Nmecha, Niklas Süle, and Karim Adeyemi in the squad for Friday evening’s Bundesliga clash with Eintracht Frankfurt (8:30 p.m.). According to information from Ruhr Nachrichten, the trio was part of the departure to the team hotel, after there had still been question marks in recent days over whether they would be available.

Nmecha’s return in particular is important for BVB. The midfielder had missed the last five Bundesliga matches because of a torn lateral ligament in his knee. At times, it was even unclear whether the six-time Germany international would be able to play again this season at all. Thanks to his quick recovery, participation in the Club World Cup this summer now also seems realistic again.

Niklas Süle is also back after his knee injury. The center-back was injured in the away match in Hoffenheim and had been sidelined ever since. It could be an emotional evening for the 30-year-old: Süle will end his career after the season and will be officially bid farewell before kick-off together with Julian Brandt, Salih Özcan, and former sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

BVB star Adeyemi returns against Frankfurt

Karim Adeyemi is also available again. The attacking player had most recently been forced to sit out for around three weeks because of a muscle injury. Borussia Dortmund will still be without captain Emre Can, however, as he is set to be sidelined for several more months with a torn ACL.

There is also a sense of a new beginning off the pitch. Against Frankfurt, BVB will unveil their new home kit for the 2026/27 season for the first time. Together with supplier Puma, Borussia Dortmund has gone for a classic yellow-and-black design with white accents on the collar and sleeves.

The match is also of major importance from a sporting perspective. With a win, Borussia Dortmund would secure the runner-up spot. Frankfurt, meanwhile, is battling SC Freiburg from afar for seventh place and qualification for the Conference League.

The full BVB squad against Frankfurt:

Kobel, Meyer – Schlotterbeck, Anton, Süle, Reggiani, Couto, Ryerson, Svensson, Nmecha, Bellingham, Chukwuemeka, Sabitzer, Özcan, Brandt, Adeyemi, Beier, Guirassy, Silva and Inacio.
