The personnel situation at Borussia Dortmund continues to deteriorate. Coach Nuri Sahin expects three more professional footballers to be unavailable in the DFB Cup game next Tuesday against Bundesliga rivals VfL Wolfsburg. In the 1-2 loss in Augsburg, defenders Waldemar Anton (abdominals and hips) and Julian Ryerson (adductors) as well as midfielder Marcel Sabitzer (back) had to leave the field early.
“I don’t think they’re playing,” said Sahin, referring to the DFB Cup. “If things don’t go well, something like that will happen,” said Sahin, referring to the ever-growing list of failures at BVB. The coach announced that they would still try to “get one round further in Wolfsburg.”
