Dortmund’s Julian Brandt Faces Fitness Test Ahead of Bayern Match

Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund is preparing for a crucial match against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Julian Brandt, a key player, is trying to recover from a thigh injury he got during a recent game. He was taken off during Dortmund’s 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.

After the Champions League match, Brandt mentioned that it would be tough for him to play against Bayern. However, there is some hope among the team that he might be able to join the game, even if just as a substitute.

Coach Nuri Şahin is still without Emre Can, who is serving a suspension after receiving a red card in a previous match against Mainz. This means the midfield will likely consist of Felix Nmecha, who has been improving, along with Pascal Groß and Marcel Sabitzer.

Serhou Guirassy is expected to return to the squad after missing the last game against Zagreb. Şahin praised Guirassy, saying he wouldn’t trade him for anyone, not even Harry Kane.

Karim Adeyemi is still recovering from his own thigh injury and will not be available for this match.

The likely lineup for Dortmund against Bayern Munich includes Gregor Kobel in goal, with defenders Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Ramy Bensebaini. Felix Nmecha will play in midfield, supported by Maximilian Beier, Marcel Sabitzer, Pascal Groß, and Jamie Gittens, with Serhou Guirassy leading the attack.
