BVB: Kehl doubts the effect of the Tuchel before the Bundesliga summit at Bayern

Schlotterbeck use possible

Borussia Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl does not believe that the change of coach at FC Bayern will have a major impact on the top game in the Bundesliga next Saturday (from 6:30 p.m. in the TM live ticker). “I don’t know if FC Bayern will be better on Saturday with Thomas Tuchel than before under Julian Nagelsmann,” said Kehl on Tuesday in Dortmund.

The 43-year-old added: “I don’t think that this coaching staff really affects this game because many national players are still on the road until the middle of the week and an incredible number of training sessions cannot take place.” Tuchel was signed on Friday as Nagelsmann’s successor and led training for the German record champions for the first time on Tuesday. The 49-year-old announced that he wanted to set a first “exclamation mark” in the title fight against his former club, for which he stood on the sidelines in 107 games between 2015 and 2017 and won the DFB Cup.

BVB boss Kehl on staff before Bayern duel: “Will have some back”

Meanwhile, the BVB sports director also commented on the number of staff at Westphalia and contradicted recent reports about a setback in the recovery of national player Karim Adeyemi: “That’s not the case. Karim is fully involved and will take the next steps this week.” The 21-year-old striker could again be an option for the Bundesliga summit. Adeyemi had recently missed five games due to a torn muscle fiber and is not included in the national team squad for the current friendlies.

The recovery process is also going well for offensive man Julian Brandt, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and striker Youssoufa Moukoko. “I can’t say everything for everyone yet, but we will definitely have some back at the weekend,” said Kehl. He is also confident about the injured defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who left the national team: “We examined him here again yesterday. He’s being treated now. I also have a very good feeling that this will still work until the weekend.”
