Nations League on Thursday: no wins for BVB's four internationals | OneFootball

While Nico Schlotterbeck was sidelined through injury and forced to watch from the sidelines, Waldemar Anton celebrated Germany’s first win under head coach Jürgen Klopp with the national team, beating Serbia 2-0. Thursday evening in the Nations League was less successful for four other Borussia Dortmund professionals, who all failed to win with their national teams.

In the match between Germany’s group opponents Greece and the Netherlands, two Dortmund players even faced each other directly in Konstantinos Karetsas and Joey Veerman. Both started for their teams, with Veerman staying on the pitch until the final whistle, while Karetsas, who was substituted after 83 minutes, had to watch Tijjani Reijnders score the Dutch equalizer in the 89th minute from the sidelines. Veerman had earlier sparked the comeback with a corner that Virgil van Dijk headed into the net for 2-1, after Greece had gone into the break ahead thanks to goals from Fotis Ioannidis and Georgios Masouras.

It also finished 2-2 after 90 minutes between Ireland and Austria. Without Marcel Sabitzer, who was not called up this time, but with Carney Chukwuemeka in attacking midfield, the Austrian national team made a dreadful start and went into halftime 0-2 down. Only after a triple substitution at the break, which also brought Chukwuemeka’s evening to an early end, did Austria find its rhythm and rescue a draw through goals from substitutes Michael Gregoritsch and Alexander Prass.

Norway lose, Ryerson forced off injured again

The fact that Julian Ryerson was able to start Norway’s away match in Wales was initially good news for Borussia Dortmund, as the right-back had already had to leave the field injured in Sunday’s 1-2 defeat to Portugal.

However, after just 15 minutes came bad news for BVB, as Ryerson once again had to leave the field injured. There are still no further details on how serious the injury to the 28-year-old is. When Ryerson went off, Norway were leading through an early goal from Oscar Bobb, but ultimately lost 1-2 thanks to goals from Daniel James and Neco Williams.
