BVB in Gladbach without Kagawa - Schmelzer questionable

Dortmund (SID) Bundesliga soccer team Borussia Dortmund will have to do without Shinji Kagawa in Sunday's game at Borussia Mönchengladbach (18.00 p.m./Sky). The Japanese player is still suffering from an ankle injury that he sustained in the game against Hamburger SV last Saturday. “It won’t work for the weekend,” said coach Peter Stöger. Whether Marcel Schmelzer will return to the squad after tearing a muscle fiber in his calf will only be decided at short notice. "We'll decide after the final training whether it makes sense to include him in the squad. It's not a big problem, but he doesn't feel 100 percent yet," said Stöger about the BVB captain. Despite the current crisis, the Austrian rates his opponent as strong. "It wasn't long ago that Borussia was rightly praised. Recently they lost several times due to bad luck. But I see what potential the team has at its disposal," said Stöger, who built the momentum from the last-minute Would like to take the win against Atalanta Bergamo (3:2) in the second round of the Europa League. With a win you can “really give yourself some breathing room” in the fight for the Champions League places, said Stöger.
