Juventus beat Dortmund in friendly, spoil Hummels' farewell party
dpa Berlin Juventus were the inconvenient guests as they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and spoiled Mats Hummels' farewell party on Sunday. The friendly match was the last one for Dortmund ahead of the start of the new football season in Germany and the club used the occasion to officially say goodbye to their former defender Hummels. Andrea Cambiaso hit the net in the 16th minute and then again in the 53rd before Maximilian Beier pulled one back for the hosts in the 89th. Hummels captained Dortmund and when he was subbed off in the 19th minute, he received a standing ovation from the stadium and a guard of honour from both teams. 'I'm feeling great, it was perfect. I couldn't have imagined something better, to play football seriously again. I had a lot of fun playing here,' Hummels said. Asked whether he was nervous ahead of the match, he said: 'I was as nervous as before many other games because I didn't know where I stood (in terms of fitness). But it went well. I had so much fun.' The defender ended his career after a difficult final season at Roma following his Dortmund exit last year. Hummels was a Bayern Munich academy product and spent two terms each at Bayern and Dortmund, winning five Bundesliga titles and three German Cups with them. He earned 78 Germany caps highlighted by the 2014 World Cup title. Hummels said he could list '100 favourite moments' during his Dortmund career, but he eventually named the first Bundesliga title with the club in 2011 as the top one. 'There are so many great moments and this is beautiful,' he said. He will remain in the sport as a Prime Video Champions League pundit but he also told broadcasters ZDF that he plans no real immediate full return to the pro football scene over the next year or two. Dortmund start the new season with a German Cup match against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 18. Their Bundesliga opener is on August 23 against St Pauli. Coach Niko Kovac will have concerns about defender Niklas Süle, who replaced Hummels but left the pitch with a calf injury shortly before half-time.

Borussia Dortmund vs Juventus – Match preview and team news
Borussia Dortmund and Juventus meet in a pre-season friendly at the Signal Iduna Park on Sunday. Former Dortmund defender Hummels, who announced his retirement earlier this year, will start the fixture in a farewell appearance. Both sides will look to conclude their pre-season preparations positively ahead of the return of domestic competition later this month. Borussia Dortmund vs Juventus – Match preview and team news Team News Borussia Dortmund Niko Kovač will be without several key players for the finale of their pre-season campaign. Nico Schlotterbeck and Julien Duranville remain unavailable, whilst captain Emre Can is also ruled out. The absences create opportunities for other squad members to impress before competitive action begins. Managing director Carsten Cramer confirmed Mats Hummels' farewell involvement after the defender initially considered returning for the Club World Cup. Jobe Bellingham is expected to feature after making a strong impression during the Club World Cup, where he scored on his first start against Mamelodi Sundowns. The England u-21 international has already made four appearances for Dortmund and will look to build on his early success. Similarly, Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi have both found the net recently and will look to build on their scoring form. Elsewhere, the club are also pursuing a deal to sign Fábio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with personal terms reportedly agreed for a £17m (€20m) transfer. Juventus Igor Tudor will be without Juan Cabal and Nicolò Savona for the trip to Germany. However, Arkadiusz Milik should be available after recovering from an injury sustained in a gym accident. Several familiar Bundesliga faces feature in the travelling squad. Former Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie will line up against his former rivals, whilst ex-VfB Stuttgart players Filip Kostić and Nico González add experience to Tudor's options. New signing Jonathan David and midfielder Teun Koopmeiners provide additional attacking threat. Douglas Luiz has been reintegrated into the squad after initial difficulties adapting to life in Turin. Tudor recently took the entire team out for dinner in a team-building exercise, including the transfer-linked Luiz, Arthur Melo and Dusan Vlahovic. Timothy Weah has left the club, joining Marseille for an initial fee of £13.1m. Form Borussia Dortmund: WWLWW Kovač's side have enjoyed a perfect pre-season so far, defeating Sportfreunde Siegen 8-1 before securing a narrow 3-2 victory over Lille. Their attacking display has been impressive, with both Guirassy and Adeyemi amongst the goals in recent outings. Juventus: WWLLD Tudor's team have endured a more challenging pre-season following their Club World Cup involvement. They managed just a 2-2 draw against Reggiana in their only on-field action since their round of 16 exit to Real Madrid. Last Meeting Borussia Dortmund 0-3 Juventus, Champions League last 16, 2014/15 It's been a decade since the club's last met in competitive action. Carlos Tevez was the inspiration behind an impressive win for Juventus, who sealed a 3-0 success in Germany. The Argentine opened the scoring from 30 yards for the visitors, before setting up Alvaro Morata for the second. Tevez scored a third for Juventus to confirm their progress to the quarter-finals. Predicted Lineups Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Süle, Bensebaini; Brandt, Groß; Adeyemi, Bellingham, Guirassy; Beier.

Dortmund make final decision on possible Hummels return
Following Nico Schlotterbeck's long-term injury, reports surfaced that Borussia Dortmund were considering a short-term return for Mats Hummels from AS Roma to provide cover for this summer's Club World Cup. However, according to Sport Bild, Dortmund have ultimately decided against including the veteran defender in their squad for the tournament. Advertisement Since the speculation began in mid-April, Dortmund's defense has stabilized, while Hummels himself is lacking match fitness and hasn't featured for Roma in over a month. The 36-year-old, who is set to retire at the end of the season, is still expected to don the black and yellow one last time, although not in a competitive game, with WAZ reporting that a testimonial match is being planned in his honor. There also remains the possibility of Hummels returning to the club in a different role after his retirement.
