Borussia Dortmund Aims for Consecutive Wins Against Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund is set to face Augsburg on Matchday 26 of the Bundesliga, seeking to secure back-to-back victories. In a press briefing held on Thursday, head coach Niko Kovač addressed various issues, including the team’s current player status and the upcoming match.

Kovač Discusses Player Health

“Carney Chukwuemeka is engaging in limited training. Nico Schlotterbeck has returned to full training. Filippo Mane is making progress in his recovery, while Julian Brandt is currently unwell.”

Insights on Felix Nmecha’s Contract

“I believe everyone is pleased with the situation. The team is content, as are our supporters. He’s an essential player, showing consistent improvement, although there’s still room for growth. Felix is at an age where he’s nearing his peak and has displayed strong abilities, including good dribbling, vision, and finishing skills. However, he can elevate his goal-scoring potential even further. On a personal note, he is a terrific individual.”

Thoughts on Maximilian Beier

“Maximilian Beier’s progress is headed in an encouraging direction. While he may not play the entire match each time, this is because he always performs at his limits. He has a strong chance of making it to the World Cup. There is still room for him to enhance his goal-scoring threat, but his hard work is beginning to yield positive results.”

Reflections on Nico Schlotterbeck

“The circumstances surrounding Nico Schlotterbeck differ from those of Felix, but I hope that the extension of Felix’s contract sends a message to our existing players and potential recruits.”

“The squad has adapted well to the objectives set forth by the new coach. They have organized themselves effectively across all areas, which has been achieved through dedicated effort. Although the upcoming match will present challenges, our goal is to secure two victories before the international break.”
