"Tyrala, coach of WSV, states: 'It's about the board'"
Wuppertaler SV (WSV) is gearing up for a tough match against Borussia Dortmund U23 on Sunday, August 17, 2025, but the team is facing significant challenges due to a high number of player absences.
Sebastian Tyrala, WSV's head coach, reported that ten players are currently unavailable due to injuries and other unavailability. This has contributed to a heavy defeat in their last match. Despite these setbacks, Tyrala is optimistic about the team's focus and confidence as they prepare for the upcoming game.
Regarding injury updates and squad availability, Tyrala mentioned that the team is managing training adjustments, including training earlier due to heat, and looking to get back some players. However, he did not specify exact names or detailed injury statuses. This indicates ongoing concerns with fitness but also active work to stabilize the squad.
Concerning the involvement of U19 players for upcoming matches, there is no explicit confirmation from Tyrala's statements or recent news that they will definitely be called up. However, given the high number of absences, it is plausible that younger players are being considered to fill gaps. No direct quote or official team announcement confirms this yet.
Ronay Arabaci is one of the players who will be out for four to six weeks due to an injury. SV did not concede much in the game, and Koray Dag showed good performance during the training session. The team's list of unavailable players is getting longer, and the team had to train with many U17 players due to the small squad size.
Despite the challenges, the team plans to send a strong squad to the game. Not all players played in their usual positions, and the team aims to win the upcoming game. The team is cautious about potential setbacks due to the current situation, but they are determined to put up a good fight against Borussia Dortmund U23.
It's worth noting that this match holds special significance for Tyrala, who formerly played for Borussia Dortmund U23. The team trained with appropriate shoes for playing on artificial turf, but they played on grass instead, which made the game more difficult. Alessio Arambasic will serve his suspension next week, and Kadi Atmaca might return. Koray Dag is not an option for the team due to a full squad.
In summary, WSV is facing significant injury-related absences, but Tyrala is optimistic about the team's focus and confidence as they prepare for the upcoming game against Borussia Dortmund U23. The team is managing training adjustments and looking to get back some players, but no clear public confirmation on U19 players' involvement has been made yet. The team aims to win the game and is cautious about potential setbacks due to the current situation.
The absence of several key players due to injuries and other reasons has left WSV with a limited squad, causing concerns for the upcoming football match against Borussia Dortmund U23. Despite these challenges, coach Sebastian Tyrala remains hopeful about the team's focus and determination to secure a victory in the game.
