Dortmund (dpa) – Borussia Dortmund comes to the game at FC Augsburg with great personal worries. For the game in the Bundesliga on Sunday (5.30 p.m. / DAZN), BVB is missing captain Marco Reus, right-back Thomas Meunier and Erling Haaland.
“There wasn’t much time to prepare, we’re starting with difficult conditions,” said Dortmund coach Marco Rose two days after his team’s European Cup exit at Glasgow Rangers.
National player Emre Can’s game on Sunday is also in doubt, he has been suffering from back pain since the Glasgow game. Reus was hit in the thigh in the game and Meunier ruptured an old muscle injury. In addition, Manuel Akanji and Dan-Axel Zagadou (both torn muscles) are still out.
The only ray of hope: left-back Raphael Guerreiro, who was out for a short time on Thursday, “basically gave the green light,” said Rose.
The BVB trainer had no hopes for a comeback from Haaland. The 21-year-old Norwegian has been absent for the past few weeks due to muscular problems. “It’s a vague story, it may take a few more days,” Rose said.
