BVB worries about Mats Hummels: Marco Rose reveals worrying details

BVB seems to be haunted by bad luck with injuries. While some are new to the hospital, other players have been causing concern for a long time. Mats Hummels, too.

Dortmund – The look at the current squad of Borussia Dortmund is sobering: many are injured. Youssouffa Moukoko, Mahmoud Dahoud and Raphael Guerreiro will definitely be missing when BVB meet Mainz 05 on Saturday. Other personal details are shaky.

Mats Hummels (BVB): Marco Rose with a gloomy forecast – defender worries Borussia Dortmund

After all, five BVB players returned from their international matches. Thomas Meunier has bigger problems with his toe, Thorgan Hazard only recently started training again. Youssouffa Moukoko, Raphael Guerreiro and Manuel Akanji also have problems. And then there are the players who were injured before.

Marco Rose does not want to rule out a deployment of BVB striker Erling Haaland – but he is not certain. But it is not only the offensive that is puzzling. The coach also has to react to injuries on the defensive. One person is particularly concerned: Defense chief Mats Hummels.

BVB: Mats Hummels injured – knee has been causing problems since the Augsburg game

The 32-year-old is struggling with knee problems – and not just recently. Against FC Augsburg (October 2), BVB’s head of defense was injured after 66 minutes and his grip went straight to the knee. As in the summer preparation.

Of course, that was also an issue for the coach. At the press conference before the game against Mainz 05, Marco Rose said: “Of course we talk a lot about his physical situation. He puts himself at the service of the team. ”But Mats Hummels is not yet at 100 percent.

Mats Hummels is ailing. What he needs, according to BVB coach Marco Rose, is some rest.

BVB coach Marco Rose with a terrifying diagnosis: Mats Hummels needs rest

“I want him to be back at 100 percent performance as quickly as possible, but above all also painless. That is the biggest factor that limits it. “

But in order to bring the veteran back to old strength, one thing above all is required: calm. And then Marco Rose sees black. “It’s always difficult under load because he still needs training to be fit for the game. In the game, the load is very, very high. But with the problems that he has, he would be good at rest, but we don’t have them. “

The BVB coach is right: after all, just three days after the game against Mainz 05, Ajax Amsterdam is waiting for Borussia Dortmund again in the Champions League. And that was just the start of three English weeks. Conversely, this means that BVB will have to wait until the ailing Mats Hummels reaches 100 percent again. The motto must therefore be to properly recover between the stress phases.
