The good news: With the victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund can dream a little more of the qualification for European football. The bad: whether Maximilian Beier will be able to participate in the final sprint of BVB is open. Because the offensive man injured himself against Gladbach and even had to go to the hospital.
Maximilian Beier will not forget the 28th minute of the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-2), because in this the professional of Borussia Dortmund remained on the lawn after a duel with Gladbach’s Julian Weigl with a face -distorted face.
Afterwards, Beier tried for a few minutes, but in the 35th minute he had to be replaced against Carney Chukwuemeka. The worries at BVB were large.
“Maxi is now in the hospital and is being examined. He got a blow onto the ankle,” said coach Niko Kovac after the game and added: “It is the fabric, which is simply the somewhat thinner bone down there.”
He hoped that “not too much will happen,” continued Kovac, who let it go through that he feared the worst. “If Maxi goes out and can no longer bite your teeth, it means a lot,” said the coach.
BVB brings a little further
After all: Subsequently, the replacement turned out to be lucky in happiness. Because Beiers replacement Carney Chukwuemeka – sports.de-Note 1.5 – mutated into a “gamechanger”, as Kovac called it.
The English borrowed from FC Chelsea had “torn the game” and shaken the team after the deficit by Ko ItaKura (24th).
“If you do the goals, you know what can happen here in the stadium with the fans,” said Kovac: “The team fought until the end and earned the three points. It was the next exhausting game after Bavaria and Barcelona.”
