Sat Nov 02 23:09:08 UTC 2024: ## Injury Crisis Hits Dortmund Ahead of Leipzig Clash
Borussia Dortmund face a major injury crisis ahead of their crucial Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is ruled out after suffering a hip injury in midweek, meaning Alexander Meyer will start between the sticks. Dortmund are also without Yan Couto, Niklas Süle, and Julian Ryerson, while Waldemar Anton faces a race against time to be fit.
This injury blow comes at a particularly difficult time for Dortmund, who have struggled for consistency under new manager Nuri Şahin. With Karim Adeyemi, Giovanni Reyna, and Julien Duranville also sidelined, Dortmund’s bench will have a distinctly youthful look with only Maximilian Beier and possibly Anton (if fit) being senior players.
Despite the injury woes, Dortmund will be hoping to bounce back from their recent disappointing performances and secure a crucial win against their unbeaten rivals. The game is set to be a tense encounter with both teams vying for three crucial points.
