Dortmund - 30 p.m. / Sky) against Mainz.
In Guerreiro (Portugal), Moukoko (U21), Thorgan Hazard, Thomas Meunier (both Belgium) and Manuel Akanji (Switzerland) five BVB professionals recently left their national teams prematurely and battered.
“I think the guys don't need a lot of training anymore.
They are made fit in the club.

You can do that without great intensity, ”commented Rose.
"This is possibly an interface where we might be able to work even better."
