Bitter for BVB: Giovanni Reyna and Dan-Axel Zagadou had to be substituted before the break in Dortmund’s 6-0 win against Gladbach.
In his first starting eleven appearance since August, Reyna had to be substituted shortly after the 1-0 lead. The 19-year-old initially required treatment on the pitch and was eventually taken to the dressing room in tears. “You have to assume that something has broken open again in the old spot,” BVB coach Marco Rose revealed after the 6-0 home win against Gladbach.
Reyna had injured her thigh on an international trip. The tendon was also affected and the rehab process was delayed several times. “I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but he already looked done,” Rose said. “A fit Gio would have been important for us. “
Meanwhile, defender Zagadou, who also had to leave the field before half-time, is also causing concern. “The thigh has closed up. There we have to examine how injured the structure is,” Rose said, probably also with an eye on the upcoming Europa League second leg against Glasgow. “The injuries are already clouding the victory.”
