Once Again Qualification Matches
After four match days the German Bundesliga takes a break. But for most of the players of Borussia Dortmund there is no breathing space: Eleven heroes in Black and Yellow are facing qualification matches with their national sides. Only three days before the next match against Hertha BSC Berlin, on the 7th of September, they are about to return. Here is a brief overview which of our players are in action, when they are going to return and who they will compete with. Our defense will face a part of our offense. So much for that.

Ilkay Gündogan, Marc Hornschuh, Moritz Leitner

Especially our Japanese striker Shinji Kagawa has to take travel exertions, that will not help him to recap his physical situation which he needs t show his bracing style of play in the Bundesliga again. Furthermore Sven “Manni” Bender is plagued by a bruise, his performance against Austria is highly doubtful. Of course the travels with the national teams mean a great additional stress, but it is the effort a top side has to handle.
