At puntinplay we are keen admirers of Borussia Dortmund and had intended to highlight them for the marquee clash with Hamburg today. That was before the team news started to filter through.
Jurgen Klopp, the Dortmund coach will be without seven players due to injury. Although it doesn't include Barrios the leading goalscorer, who has just signed a new contract extension, it does include g goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller, who suffered a bad cut to his left knee last weekend and could be out for another four weeks.
"You wouldn't believe how much empty space there is in the dressing room,'' said Klopp.
Armed with these facts we have decided to swerve the game at puntinplay.
