Overview

  • Sebastian Kehl said the team’s active area is reserved for players, coaches and officials and warned such access by family or advisers will not recur.
  • Bild and Sky reported that Mark and Denise Bellingham reached an area outside the BVB dressing room after the 3:3 at St. Pauli and that Mark held a lengthy, emotional discussion with Kehl.
  • BVB sporting chief Lars Ricken told Sky90 the situation is clarified and described it as an emotional conversation rather than a dispute.
  • The reports link the exchange to Jobe Bellingham’s halftime substitution in his Bundesliga debut, with criticism of Dortmund’s display also cited.
  • Media say security staff granted the parents entry to the corridor near the dressing room, and the Bellingham camp has not commented publicly.
