Exceptional striker Erling Haaland is available again for the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund much earlier than expected.

The Norwegian “will be on the bus,” said BVB coach Marco Rose this Friday before the league game at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Bundesliga and on Sky): “He feels good, but it will be a maximum amount to a short assignment. "

Fit for the Bayern duel?

Rose even hopes that Haaland will be really fit again for the Bundesliga summit against Bayern Munich on December 4th.

"If he is there in Wolfsburg and develops well during the week, he is of course fit for action," he said.

Haaland (21) has been absent since mid-October due to a stubborn thigh injury.

Most recently, the club had always said very defensively that they hope to return before the end of the year.

The Norwegian played his last Bundesliga game for BVB on October 16 in a 3-1 win against FSV Mainz 05.

However, the staff worries of the Dortmunders have by no means resolved.

Midfielder Jude Bellingham will be absent from Wolfsburg after being hit on the foot.

Rose said he wouldn't take any chances.

Mahmoud Dahoud, on the other hand, is like Emre Can "in a good mood".

The coach also reported progress with Youssoufa Moukoko and Marius Wolf.
