Borussia Dortmund – muscle fiber tear at Brandt – Sport

As feared, Borussia Dortmund will have to do without Julian Brandt for several weeks. The recently consistently strong national player was replaced after just a few minutes in the Champions League round of 16 game at Chelsea on Tuesday evening, which he lost 2-0. According to BVB information, Brand pulled a muscle fiber tear in his thigh. He is missing in the explosive Bundesliga derby at Schalke 04 (Saturday, 6.30 p.m.) and definitely also a week later in the home game against 1. FC Köln. In addition, the use of Marco Reus in the Revierderby is at risk. According to information from the broadcaster Sky, the captain is plagued by a flu infection.
