Fabio Silva set for comeback before October international break? | OneFootball

After the spectacle at the start of the Champions League on Tuesday at Juventus Turin (4:4), Borussia Dortmund would probably not mind a less exciting, but successful home game on Sunday against VfL Wolfsburg. It is likely that the central defenders Nico Schlotterbeck and Aaron Anselmino will return to the squad. Forward Fabio Silva is also on a good path, but still needs time.

As coach Niko Kovac was able to announce on Friday during the regular press conference before the home game against Wolfsburg, Fabio Silva had previously participated in team training for the first time since his arrival in Dortmund. The 23-year-old Portuguese was not fully involved yet, but has at least completed parts of the team training and thus made an important step.

Debut against Leipzig?

Silva, whose adductor surgery in the summer was only discovered by BVB during the medical check immediately before the commitment at the end of August, will not be an option against Wolfsburg, but with positive development in the next days and weeks, he could, contrary to a recently existing prognosis, make his debut in the black and yellow jersey before the next international break in October.

After the game against Wolfsburg, BVB will play three more matches before the next break: at 1. FSV Mainz 05 (27.09.), against Athletic Bilbao (01.10.) and against RB Leipzig (04.10.). Especially against Leipzig, a short appearance by Silva is not ruled out at the current state.
