Borussia Dortmund won the season opener in the cup. But with Niklas Süle an important player got injured.
According to information from “Kicker”, Borussia Dortmund will have to do without national player Niklas Süle for two to three weeks. As the football magazine reported on Monday, the new signing from FC Bayern should not only miss the Bundesliga club in the first game of the season on Saturday (6.30 p.m.) against Bayer Leverkusen.
Sky first reported on the muscle injury at the weekend. However, BVB has not yet confirmed the alleged thigh injury of the 26-year-old defender.
Süle was substituted at halftime on Friday in Dortmund’s 3-0 (3-0) victory in the DFB Cup at 1860 Munich and replaced by Mats Hummels. The 2014 World Champion should also represent Süle in the top game against Leverkusen.
“Mats was there straight away. He was very present, strong in tackles and clear in passing. That’s how we imagine it,” praised BVB coach Edin Terzic after his team’s game in Munich.
