Next step: Mathis Albert and Samuele Inacio move up to the U23s | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund's U19 team has already advanced in the Youth League before today's home game against FK Bodö/Glimt (kick-off: 4 PM). Nevertheless, the team led by coach Felix Hirschnagl is, of course, aiming for a victory and can rely on three U17 World Cup players who were recently absent.

Mathis Albert, Samuele Inacio, and Luca Reggiani are part of the squad against the Norwegians. For center-back Reggiani, this will regularly be the case in the future, whereas Albert and Inacio are expected to take the next step. According to "Ruhr Nachrichten," both are now planned as permanent members of the U23 team, and thus, they are to be introduced to men's football in the second half of the season through the Regionalliga.

Albert debuts against Paderborn

US youngster Albert already got his chance with the U23 team last weekend against SC Paderborn II (1:0). Just like Mussa Kaba, who was eliminated early with Germany at the U17 World Cup but was already promoted in the summer. Inacio, who had a brilliant start at the U17 World Cup but then, along with Reggiani, was defeated by Austria in the semifinals, is expected to make his debut after the winter break.

Considering that promising talents like Cole Campbell or Julien Duranville seem to be on the verge of leaving, BVB's endeavor to bring the next gems into the starting blocks is unmistakable—in the hope that, unlike with Campbell and Duranville, a breakthrough will be achieved.
