The Dortmund company outing to Amsterdam In the week will not be a highlight in the history of Borussia, the professionals left the 0: 4 against Ajax a conceivable bad impression. After all, the game had a positive aspect, because at the third appearance in the Champions League group stage, Dan-Axel Zagadou was back in the squad for the first time.
It was the first appearance of the young Frenchman since mid-March and his resolving in the Bundesliga game against Hertha BSC. Since then, the central defenders were missing due to severe knee injury and subsequent surgery. It was not the first failure in his Dortmund time. Since his change in 2017 from the youth of Paris St. Germain, the Frenchman had to watch longer again and again, be it because of blessings just on the knee or various muscle injuries.
So very Zagadou his potential as a robust, gambling defender and again suggested again and again, the injuries threw him back, a reliable constant was not the 22-year-old yet. After around three weeks in team training, he is now before the next step, the back on the lawn. The squad in Amsterdam was more of a kind of taster course for cabin and stadium atmosphere. This is not a real breakthrough with him, coach Marco Rose had already emphasized in front of the Ajax game, but it s just about having to help him.
The game practice is supposed to get Zagadou now in the U 23, already next weekend. For the French, it is therefore Berlin instead of Cologne, Soufian Benyamina as opponent instead of Anthony Modeste. Because with the Dortmund second representation it is on Sunday to Viktoria Berlin while the professionals on Saturday (15.30 clock, live! At bad impression) received the 1st FC Cologne.
In sight but Zagadou is to complement the squad of the Bundesliga team and thus ensure that coach Rose after larger personnel problems during the preparation in the near future again available all options for domestic defense. And for the player it is also about his personal future, his contract expires in summer.
