Another bad news for Borussia Dortmund: After Erling Haaland and Youssoufa Moukoko, storm tank Steffen Tigges is also out. According to consistent media reports, the 23-year-old is threatened with the end of the season.
Such as the “WAZ” and “sky” reported, Tigges suffered an ankle injury during the training session on Wednesday and had to go to the hospital. Everything indicates that the attacker can no longer be used in BVB’s nine remaining competitive games, it is said.
In the past few months, Tigges had gained a permanent place in Dortmund’s professional squad as a noble joker. In his nine appearances in the Bundesliga, the native of Osnabrück scored three goals.
The failure has not yet been officially confirmed. In the upcoming home game against Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday (5:30 p.m.), BVB coach Marco Rose will probably have to do without a nominal nine in the squad.
Personal misery in the BVB attack comes to a head
Most recently, Tigges was the last remaining center forward at Borussia. Goalgetter Erling Haaland has been out for weeks, but shouldn’t be too far away from a comeback. In addition, Youssoufa Moukoko recently suffered a torn thigh muscle in the away game at FC Augsburg (1-1).
“The reintegration into game operations should happen in March,” said BVB shortly afterwards. A specific date for the return has not yet been set.
Against Bielefeld, Donyell Malen should once again be in the front line. The Dutch international actually prefers to come from the depths with his enormous speed, but has been helping out in the center of the attack for some time due to the ongoing and now getting worse staffing problems.
