Gündogan a doubt for BVB

Last season’s Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund are worrying over the inclusion of Ilkay Gündogan ahead of their clash against Bayer Leverkusen this coming Saturday as the Bundesliga returns. The Germany international sustained a muscle injury in his thigh in the first half of BVB’s 1-1 friendly match against Fortuna Düsseldorf and was forced off after just 30 minutes.

Manager Jürgen Klopp warned: "He’s pulled a muscle. Ilkay’s substitution was just a precautionary measure.” A thorough examination will give a more accurate result of the severity of the injury.
