Borussia Dortmund is threatened with the loss of its national striker Niclas Füllkrug in the game against SC Freiburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky). “Yesterday he was back on our pitch for the first time as a neutral player. He should train similarly today so that he can hopefully complete the complete final training session tomorrow,” said coach Edin Terzic on Thursday: “After that we will decide whether “Enough for the matchday squad and possibly minutes on the weekend.”
Füllkrug missed the international matches against Japan (1:4) and France (2:1) due to thigh problems. Sebastien Haller will now storm for BVB, Füllkrug could be considered as a joker depending on how things go.
After the disappointing 2-2 draw against 1. FC Heidenheim before the international break, Terzic expects his team to improve their performance. Terzic said he discussed with his players “the things that we need to improve as quickly as possible: both in defense, when it comes to compactness and distances. But also about the intensity, this one ball that is on the pitch there is to reconquer.” The draw against the promoted team “felt like a defeat,” emphasized the coach.
Playing in Freiburg is “never easy,” said Terzic: “We know that Freiburg is very consistent. They remain completely clear in their structures and processes.” The SC is “one of the top teams in the Bundesliga”.
