- Alcacer and Bruun Larsen not seriously injured
Jacob Bruun Larsen was subbed off in Friday’s game because of an injury and Paco Alcacer had problems with his thigh after the 3:1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. However Dortmund confirmed that both aren’t seriously injured and will be available again soon.
Bruun Larsen will participate in practice again and Alcacer is day-to-day. Nevertheless Alcacer has not joined the team for their trip to Brugge, he will not play in BVB’s first Champions League game as well as Thomas Delaney who is missing the game with minor injury concerns. Christian Pulisic on the other hand has traveled with the team and could play.

#Watzke defends @MarioGoetze: "I know that @LMatthaeus10, who earns his money as an expert, has to make provocative theses. But it would be nice if, as one of the greatest players Germany has ever had, he would leave Mario alone and not trample on him...“ https://t.co/xVSjmCr6aN
