Las Vegas.
At Borussia Dortmund, a few weeks before the start of the Bundesliga season, injuries are growing. As the “Ruhr Nachrichten” reports, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, another professional after Nico Schlotterbeck, Julien Duranville and Thomas Meunier, was injured during the German soccer runners-up’s trip to the USA.
Accordingly, the 25-year-old is said to have suffered a slight muscle fiber tear in his team’s 3-2 friendly win over Manchester United in Las Vegas. He was replaced by Alexander Meyer at half-time.
Kobel is therefore likely to miss the two final preparatory games against Chelsea (3 August/2.30 a.m.) in Chicago and Ajax Amsterdam (6 August/5 p.m.) in Dortmund. His appearance in the first competitive game on August 12 (3:30 p.m.) in the DFB Cup at TSV Schott Mainz is questionable. The goalkeeper could be available again for the start of the league on August 19 (6:30 p.m.) against 1. FC Köln.
International player Schlotterbeck (knee) and winger Duranville (torn muscle fiber) were injured and replaced in the first test of the eleven-day USA trip against San Diego Loyal (6-0). In addition, full-back Meunier (muscular problems) and the offensive players Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (training after a shoulder operation) and Giovanni Reyna (leg injury) will be out for the time being.
