Bundesliga - Before Augsburg game: Dortmund trio around Adeyemi injured

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic may have to do without three potential regular players at FC Augsburg in the short term. Forward Karim Adeyemi, who scored Dortmund's goal in the 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, is doubtful after suffering a knock to his ankle. It is also unclear whether the two midfielders Marcel Sabitzer (cold) and Salih Özcan (hip knock) will be able to play. Red-banned defender Mats Hummels will definitely be missing.

"I think everyone now knows what's at stake on Saturday against Augsburg," said Terzic after two recent games without a win in the Bundesliga. However, BVB showed an upward trend in the last league match against RB Leipzig (2:3), in which Dortmund played short-handed for a long time, and in the premier class against Paris. "We want to improve on the performances we've shown in the last two games," said Terzic on Friday. "And if we manage to do that, we are very confident that we will also score points in the Bundesliga in the next few games."

Fifth-placed Dortmund are already eleven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Augsburg go into matchday 15 in ninth place in the table.
