BVB Faces Uncertainty: Kobel Selects Partisans Too Late

German football league - BVB Faces Uncertainty: Kobel Selects Partisans Too Late

Gregor Kobel, goalkeeper for Borussia Dortmund, will need to fork out 20,000 euros in fines. Reason? He didn't show up promptly for a substitution in a Bundesliga game.

The German Football Association's sports court made the announcement on Tuesday. Seems like Dortmund's team set up an unofficial player gathering before the league clash against RB Leipzig in late April. "This made it necessary to postpone the start of the game by one minute," explains the statement.
