The injury worries at Borussia Dortmund became even greater when the Europa League ended.
After the 2-2 win in the second leg of the playoffs at Glasgow Rangers (first leg 2-4), coach Marco Rose had to report three other injured players on Thursday evening.
“Marco Reus took a very hard hit, he hobbled badly, we have to see how that develops,” said Rose during the press conference.
In the case of Thomas Meunier, “probably the old injury has broken out again”, the right-back had recently complained about muscular problems. According to Rose, Emre Can struggled with “severe back pain” in the dressing room after the final whistle.
In any case, BVB started at Ibrox Stadium with the emergency central defense of Mats Hummels and Emre Can, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Manuel Akanji are injured, as is offensive player Gio Reyna.
Raphael Guerreiro was also absent for the Rangers game at short notice. On Sunday (5:30 p.m. / DAZN) at FC Augsburg, Erling Haaland will probably not be able to play either.
