Hummels and Schmelzer blows for Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels will be out until January with torn heel ligaments and full-back Marcel Schmelzer also returned from international duty injured.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp faces an injury crisis ahead of Saturday's top-of-the-Bundesliga clash with FC Bayern München after Marcel Schmelzer and Mats Hummels returned from international duty injured.

Centre-back Hummels tore ligaments in his right heel during Germany's 1-0 win against England on Tuesday and will be absent until January, while left-back Schmelzer begins a three-week lay-off after tearing muscle fibres in his left calf at Wembley. Neven Subotić was recently ruled out for at least six months after damaging cruciate ligaments in his knee, meaning three of Dortmund's regular back four are missing for Saturday night's visit of leaders Bayern.

Out-of-contract Manuel Friedrich, whom Klopp knows from their time together at 1. FSV Mainz 05, had been on trial at Dortmund with a view to covering for this kind of eventuality. However, the 34-year-old is also sidelined after injuring his left knee in a 2-1 friendly defeat by second-tier SC Paderborn 07 on Tuesday.

Second in the Bundesliga, Dortmund lie third in UEFA Champions League Group F going into their home game against SSC Napoli next week, with a trip to Olympique de Marseille to follow on matchday six.

RG will kill me but it was worth it tbh.



What an international break by the way. Valdes out for 6 weeks. Hummels out for 6 weeks. Khedira out for the season.

inb4 out of CL because of no Hummels
inb4 poor squad depth
inb4 Dortmund would've won Bundesliga if all the players were fit

brb out of dope

well, if the absence of three starting defenders (without god damn schmelzer being one of them) is not an obvious and significant impairment for all of dortmund's ambitions, then i don't know what is...

So you are saying an entire back four being injured is not a valid excuse? What would you say If Johnson, Agger, Sakho and Enrique all got injured? And add in Gerrard too.

Hummels is the only one that puts Dortmund in a bit of a bad spot though. Schmelzer is not that good to start with, Subotic is overrated, and theyve been without Gundogan and Piszek for a while now. They can still field a very strong team like this:


...still could beat alot of great teams with that. Only problem is thaf theyre facing THE BEST team in the world this weekend.
