Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have four players confirmed unavailable: Emre Can, Göktan Konstantelias, Javier Lerma and Kamil Karetsas. None are listed as doubtful, so the situation is clear-cut, with no late fitness calls to resolve. Two of the absences are knee injuries (Can and Konstantelias), one is a muscle injury (Lerma), and Karetsas is listed with an unspecified injury. The knee problems make up half the list, which makes them the most common concern in the group.

The available information does not specify positions or return timelines, so it is difficult to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest. Nor can we judge how much each player contributes to the starting lineup or how well the rest of the squad can cover for them. What the numbers do show is that the absences are limited to four players, and all are confirmed rather than uncertain, which at least allows for settled planning around the available group.

Overall, the squad is not facing a large-scale injury crisis, though losing four players will inevitably narrow the selection options. A clearer assessment of squad depth will depend on further updates on each player's condition and expected availability.
