Dortmund (AP) - Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Dortmund is burning for reparations before the top game on Tuesday (8.30 p.m. / Sky) at Bayer Leverkusen.
Three days after the poor 1-1 draw against the penultimate FSV Mainz 05, the Revierclub wants to make up ground in the title fight and could overtake third place in the table with a win.
«The good thing is that it continues immediately.
We quickly agreed that we wanted to do better.
We want to finish the first half of the season with a win, ”said coach Edin Terzic on Monday.
In addition to the injured Dan-Axel Zagadou, who sustained a muscle injury against Mainz, Terzic also has to do without the yellow-banned Emre Can.
The use of attacker Giovanni Reyna (sore throat) is questionable.
Above all, the failure of Can weighs heavily, because the national player had proven himself as a replacement for the long-term failure of Axel Witsel in the defensive midfield.
Nevertheless, Terzic refrained from lamenting: “We are in good spirits that we can compensate for that.
We have enough quality in the squad. "
The first alternative for Can is Thomas Delaney.
Terzic expects a duel at eye level in Leverkusen: “You can see it in the table situation.
You are tied with us and are playing a very good round.
It's a very tough opponent.
It will be a tough job for us. "
