Overview
- Borussia Dortmund began its winter training camp in Marbella on January 2 with a closed evening session at the Banus Football Center.
- Coach Niko Kovač brought academy prospects Mathis Albert, Mussa Kaba and Samuele Inacio into the senior setup for evaluation.
- Defenders Waldemar Anton and Aaron Anselmino traveled for phased reintegration after pre-Christmas injuries, with Anton’s availability for Eintracht Frankfurt reported as realistic by Bild.
- Because preparation time is short, the squad will stay in Spain and travel directly to Frankfurt next Thursday for the January 9 Bundesliga match.
- Pascal Groß did not join the camp amid reports of a return to Brighton, while transfer-linked Cole Campbell and Julien Duranville remain with the group.
