Yan Couto Ruled Out of Dortmund's Clash with Werder
Dortmund Injury Woes Continue
Borussia Dortmund will be without right-back Yan Couto for their upcoming clash with Werder Bremen on Saturday.
The Brazilian defender suffered a muscle injury in training this week and will miss the trip to the Weserstadion.
Couto's absence is a blow to Dortmund, who are already without several key players due to injury.
Who Else Will Miss the Game?
In addition to Couto, Dortmund will also be without the following players:
- Mats Hummels (knee)
- Giovanni Reyna (hamstring)
- Jude Bellingham (ankle)
- Thomas Meunier (muscular problems)
These absences leave Dortmund short of options in defense and midfield, but they will hope to have some of these players back for their next game against Chelsea in the Champions League.
Dortmund's Injury Crisis
Dortmund's injury crisis has been a major factor in their poor start to the season.
The German giants have won just one of their first five Bundesliga games and are already eight points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Couto's injury is the latest in a long line of setbacks for Dortmund, who will be hoping that their luck changes soon.
Upcoming Fixtures
Dortmund's next game is against Werder Bremen on Saturday, September 10th.
They then face Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday, September 14th.
Dortmund will be hoping to get some positive results in these games and turn their season around.
