…opponents Borussia Dortmund: “We obviously want to celebrate a home win, but Dortmund have really hit their stride since losing at Union and played very well against Stuttgart and Manchester City – they also haven’t conceded a goal in three games. I think BVB have adopted a slightly different style of play under Edin Terzic, including a very good counter-attacking game with great pace through Karim Adeyemi, Youssoufa Moukoko and Jude Bellingham. We have to be on our guard there. It’s going to be a difficult task for us.”

Freiburg are returning to Bundesliga action with three games in seven days. After their trip to Wolfsburg (Saturday, 21st January, 15:30 CET), they will host Eintracht Frankfurt (Wednesday, 25th January, 20:30 CET), and FC Augsburg (Saturday, 28th January, 15:30 CET).

Dodi Lukébakio is in space on the right wing. He looks up and spots Jessic Ngankam in the centre. The striker is round the back of the defence, meets his teammate’s cross at the far post and forces the ball over the line.

We want nothing but points when we get back! That’s where I want to do my bit,” said the 22-year-old as he spoke to herthabsc.com about the first set of training sessions in Bradenton, where the whole team “are coming across as dangerous and fighting for every ball.”

Mainz made it three wins from three on the road this season after a 1-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday afternoon. It was goalless at the break after a very entertaining first half full of chances for both teams. Ko Itakura was sent off for a reckless foul on Karim Onisiwo in the 55th minute and this proved to be the decisive moment in the contest. Aaron scored a delicious goal from the resulting free kick to give his side all three points.

It “just wasn’t quite enough” for him to be included in the squad for the Copenhagen game, but the timetable for him and Guerreiro is clear: “We have decided that both of them will train in Dortmund today and tomorrow, with the aim of having them both ready for action on Saturday.”
