For the away match in Bochum, Borussia Dortmund may have to do without newcomer Donyell Malen (22).
On Saturday, BVB will be looking to put their unfortunate top-flight defeat against Bayern behind them with a win in Bochum.
However, the current Europa League participants may have to make the “trip” to the Ruhrstadion a few kilometres away without Donyell Malen, who scored Dortmund’s first goal in the 5-0 defeat of Besiktas last week.
As coach Marco Rose announced on Thursday, the summer newcomer “fell ill”. We’ll have to see how it develops. It could be that he will not be available.”
Thorgan Hazard could make his squad comeback after overcoming a corona infection, the same goes for Julian Brandt after his head injury in the Bayern game, even if Rose speaks of “no easy topic”. According to his coach, Brandt passed a “concussion test” and “moved around outside with the ball on his foot”. “He may be an option. “
