Before the CL clash against Barcelona
Sahin gives an update: Süle and Beier are threatened with failure

BVB professionals Niklas Süle and Maximilian Beier have to be replaced injured in Gladbach. Both are questionable for the Champions League game against Barcelona. Things look worse at Süle.
Niklas Süle is threatened with another week-long absence. The Borussia Dortmund defender injured his previously damaged ankle during the 1-1 (0-0) draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach. “Things didn’t look good for Niki, I can tell that,” said BVB coach Nuri Sahin after the game.
Süle is likely to miss the Champions League game against FC Barcelona on Wednesday. According to Sahin, the use of Maximilian Beier, who had to be replaced prematurely with an injury, is also questionable against the Catalans.
Süle injured his right syndesmosis in October and was out for around six weeks. If this injury recurs, the 29-year-old is likely to be out until the end of January.
“I don’t even dare to ask anymore after the games,” said Dortmund coach Sahin. “It feels like we have a worse injury after every game. These aren’t just minor strains.”
