Injury Update for Borussia Dortmund Ahead of Bundesliga Match

Positive News for Niko Kovač

Borussia Dortmund has faced challenges with defensive injuries this season, but their head coach Niko Kovač has received a promising update ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga match against Mainz.

While it has been noted that defender Aarón Anselmino is not at full fitness, Kovač announced that Niklas Süle has begun to reintegrate into the team. The coach plans to evaluate Süle’s readiness during Friday’s training session to determine if he can participate in the match.

Crucial Timing for Süle’s Return

Süle’s potential comeback comes at a critical time for Borussia Dortmund, who currently trail league leaders Bayern Munich by two points. In their first four Bundesliga encounters, Kovač has had to depend on a makeshift defense, including the debut of young talent Filippo Mane and the unusual positioning of Julian Ryerson, a right-wing back playing as a central defender.
