While Niklas Süle’s painful absence was recently confirmed, another player is returning to the squad after a long injury break: Karim Adeyemi is said to be the one Ruhr News traveled to the Borussia Dortmund team hotel and is about to return against FC Barcelona.
The offensive player was busy with a torn muscle fiber in his thigh for around two months, which means that it remains to be seen whether and to what extent coach Nuri Şahin, who recently spoke of good training impressions, plans to work with him. A use – at least as a joker – could be possible against the Spaniards.
The prominent list of absences is now completed by Julian Brandt (muscular problems in the thigh), Waldemar Anton (torn groin muscle fiber) and striker Maximilian Beier, who is missing due to knee problems.
