DORTMUND. German Bundesliga: Erling Haaland returns to the starting line-up in the duel for first place.
The top match of the German Bundesliga between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern will take place in front of just 15,000 spectators (today, 6.30 p.m., Sky live). In total, a maximum of 50 percent of the capacities in German stadiums can now be used. And at 15,000 it is finally over. In Bavaria, ghost games were decided yesterday until further notice. This already applies to the duel between LASK player Michael Gregoritsch and Augsburg against VfL Bochum at the weekend.
In Dortmund, the hosts could take the lead with a win. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann has to do without numerous players. That’s why he really wants Leon Goretzka, who has an injured patellar tendon, to play. “But he has to make the decision himself whether he can play 100 percent. Only then does it make sense because this game is simply too big.” Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was released from the corona quarantine, but an assignment comes too early. Joshua Kimmich will probably still be missing against FC Barcelona on Wednesday. Marcel Sabitzer is not back after his calf problems either. In Dortmund, Erling Haaland is expected in the starting line-up after his hip problems. “It won’t be enough for the entire 90 minutes. We’ll see for how long,” said Dortmund coach Marco Rose.
801 goals for Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed a special mark in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Arsenal. The 36-year-old scored 800 and 801. After 450 goals for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus, 115 for the Portuguese national team and five for Sporting Lisbon, there are now 130 for Manchester United.
