It was more or less foreseeable: For Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen, Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga game at RB Leipzig comes too early. The two ailing professionals didn’t even start the trip to Saxony. BVB coach Edin Terzić had already indicated at the press conference before the game that it would be a (too) close number.
Justin Njinmah, on the other hand, received good news for this weekend: The attacker from the U23s is part of the travel group and is back with the pros for the first time since May (squad place against Fürth). Marcel Lotka will also come along as a substitute goalkeeper.
