Dortmund: the most important questions about Haaland-Ko

The shock comes before the Champions League match at Lazio (1: 1). Broken muscle fiber! Erling Haaland (20) is deleted! There is talk of a break until the end of December. The goal machine (17 goals in 14 competitive games this season) is in danger of missing six games. At least.

What does Haaland say? The 1.94 m giant is optimistic, he posts a photo on Instagram that shows him with his shorts pulled up: “Good news, I spoke to the doctors. I’ll be back soon… ”He too opens exactly when he is.

With the photo, Haaland mainly provides the discussion because he shows off his muscular thighs. Some social media users react in amazement: “Half human, half thigh”, “These legs are inhuman” or “You’re eating too much spinach. Can we talk about your Popeye legs, please?”

Team mate Mats Hummels can’t help but comment: “I don’t know which is better. The message or photo … “

But as people joke around on the net, the BVB bosses are faced with less funny questions. For example: Has Haaland been spared too little? Coach Lucien Favre (63) also admits here: “Maybe he played too much …” Specifically: Haaland was on the pitch for a total of 1121 minutes out of a possible 1440 minutes. He has only lost two games out of a total of 16.

Favre now has to replace the attacker. But Marco Reus (31) has been following his form for weeks, resumed in the Lazio match. Is this the possibility for the young Youssoufa Moukoko (16)? It is possible that he will be allowed to race from the start for the first time today in Frankfurt.

The program remaining until Christmas is basically solvable for BVB. Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Bremen, Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Zenit St. Petersburg in the premier class, Braunschweig in the DFB Cup. In the Champions League, the round of 16 ticket is already in your pocket. But in the league? Borussia must not allow themselves any further mistakes, especially as Bayern are already four points behind.

Simply stupid: without Haaland so far it hardly works. The “Bild” calculates: if the striker scored this season, the BVB won 80%. If not, the success rate was only 33 percent …
