Title: Dortmund's Injury Concerns Threaten Tactical Advance against Augsburg
Borussia Dortmund (BVB) could face adversity in their upcoming Bundesliga game against FC Augsburg, as key players Karim Adeyemi, Marcel Sabitzer, and Salih Özcan grappled with injuries ahead of the clash. The blow might affect Terzic's tactical plans, but he remains optimistic his squad can build on recent positive showings and secure crucial points in the league.
Although the coach acknowledged the importance of the fixture, he emphasized the need to improve on performances from the past couple of games in order to improve their standing in the Bundesliga table. "Everyone knows what's at stake against Augsburg," Terzic stated. "We want to surpass our last few league and Champions League shows and reap rewards in Bavaria, Germany."
Initially, Borussia Dortmund demonstrated a strong surge, racking up a 2:3 victory against RB Leipzig. This stark improvement, which came despite playing most of the game with a reduced squad, was followed by a 1:1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
As for Augsburg, they cap their preparations in ninth position in the league, with Dortmund currently sitting five spots above in fifth place. Worryingly, the Black and Yellows remain well behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen by an eleven-point margin.
