Overview
- Bild reports that Gregor Kobel departed Borussia Dortmund’s training camp in Marbella on Wednesday for health reasons after an unexpected absence from team activities.
- Dortmund had previously said the goalkeeper was training individually in Marbella as part of load management.
- U23 goalkeeper Silas Ostrzinski traveled to the camp and trained with the first team on Wednesday morning to provide immediate cover.
- Coach Niko Kovac still hopes Kobel will be ready for Friday’s match at Eintracht Frankfurt, with a decision to be made close to kickoff, according to WAZ.
- Kobel has been pivotal to a back line that has conceded only 12 league goals so far, and he was recently named kicker’s best goalkeeper of the Bundesliga’s first half.
