Dortmund's defensive worries deepen with Niklas Süle out for 2 months with a calf injury
DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund's defensive worries deepened Monday with central defender Niklas Süle expected to be out for two months with a right calf injury sustained during a friendly game against Juventus. Süle suffered a muscle injury and had to go off just before halftime during Sunday's match against the Italian team. He had only replaced Mats Hummels in the 19th minute of the veteran defender's farewell game. The 36-year-old Hummels, who played for Roma last season after leaving Dortmund for the second time in 2024, was bidding an emotional farewell to the Dortmund fans. Dortmund was already without the injured Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, exacerbating coach Niko Kovac's shortage of defenders before the team starts the season against Rot-Weiss Essen in the first round of the German Cup on Aug. 18. Dortmund starts its Bundesliga campaign at St. Pauli on Aug. 23. ___ AP soccer:

🧐 During the match?! BVB substitutes stay in the dressing room
This is something we've never experienced before. During the entire first half, the BVB substitutes sat in the locker room during the Club World Cup match against Mamelodi Sundowns. But why? You can sign up for DAZN to watch every game of the FIFA Club World Cup for free. The reason is as simple as it is curious: In the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, the guys were supposed to protect themselves from the sweltering heat in Ohio. Currently, it's a scorching 31 degrees Celsius – understandable that even professionals can't take it after a while. Advertisement Let's just hope that Nico Kovač doesn't get a sunstroke in the meantime. The coach had to stay outside out of necessity. At least he's been able to celebrate four goals from his Borussians so far – maybe he doesn't even notice the sun anymore. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
