Dortmund sneaks into the vortex around Lopetegui

After the result of the draw for this stage has been determined, the meeting to be held this Wednesday and next week during Sevilla’s visit to the Dortmund ground were noted as key dates for the interests of the Spaniards and the Germans. Assuming that the British will come first and the Copenhagen Danes fourth in this dispute, taking second place in the group can clear the panorama.

But the truth is that the Gipuzkoan coach, after losing at home to Atlético de Madrid (0-2) last Saturday, continues League A gruesome five-point winning streak from twenty-one games played in the first seven days, and it’s not doing much better after losing the first leg in the Champions League by a high score of 0-4 against City and not going beyond a goalless draw in the second leg at Copenhagen ground.

for weeks Sevillista fans have made their anger evident at what’s going on and are already looking in all directions to find those responsible, It’s not just the coach’s job, following the team’s plan and preparing for his visit to Dortmund with his team since Sunday.

At the athletic level, Lopetegui already has Brazilian defender Marcao Teixeira in the group.He’s one of the signers this season but hasn’t made his debut yet since arriving due to injury issues, although the coach himself has denied his participation in Tuesday’s game “because he hasn’t been discharged yet”.

They walk with various physical disabilities Argentine left-back Marcos Acuña and Brazilian midfielder Fernando Regeswas absent last Saturday, but in Tuesday’s session, the first was seen with his teammates, but not the second.

Lopetegui, about the Argentine, by Marcos Acuña “He did some of the training” and “I hope he can be here because he’s an important player for the team”.

for his visit The German line-up will be the safe absence of Dutch defender Karim Rekik.At the 28th minute of the Atlético de Madrid game, his right leg had to be amended to keep him out for several weeks due to a ruptured fibrils in the distal biceps of the femur.

The midfielder will not be on Wednesday either. Oliver Torres Neither Mexican winger Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona, who is not registered for this stage of the European tournament, will have him out for several months on August 18 due to a fibula fracture and torn ligaments in his left ankle.

Dortmund, regardless of the unstable situation experienced by the opponent, After a crazy match with Cologne 3-2, where the difficulties and virtues of the German team throughout the season are seen, he comes to a duel.

But after a perfect first half that brought him a minimum 0-1 advantage, Edin Terzic’s team slackened in the one-hour first quarter of the second half, where Colonia took the advantage once again in the problem of seizing opportunities.

Dortmund travels with two significant losses already in Cologne andMidfielder and captain Marco Reus, torn ankle ligaments and mid-back Mats Hummels, due to a cold.

Fullback Marius Wolf, those who have circulation problems, He did not go to Seville after a shoulder surgery like Mahmoud Dahoud; Giovanni Reyna with muscle problems; and Mateo Morey, long-term loss due to meniscus injury.

The starting goalkeeper is Georg Kobelwho played in the last matches due to muscle rupture, He has recovered and traveled, although it has not yet been decided that he will start as a starter as Terzic will make his decision after training in the Andalusian capital this Tuesday.

In this sense There is a high probability that Alexander Meyer will be back in the castle and Kobel’s bench. Hummels’ injury makes the center duo consist of Nico Schlotterbeck and Nicklas Süle.

In the attack, in the absence Anthony Modeste scores for Youssufa Moukoko emerges as an anthem and forms a trident with Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi on the wings.
