adminBERLIN. – Thomas Tuchel’s arrival at Borussia Dortmund following the departure of Juergen Klopp has revitalised the Westphalian club after a very underwhelming 2014-15 campaign.
Dortmund are the league’s early pacesetters, above Bayern Munich on goal difference, after thumping wins over Borussia Moenchengladbach, newcomers Ingolstadt and Hertha Berlin with a trip to lowly Hanover awaiting them today.
However, Marco Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lukasz Piszczek all returned prematurely from international duty due to injury with their status for the weekend up in the air.
Bayern outclassed Bayer Leverkusen, one of Germany’s four Champions League representative, last time out to maintain their perfect start this term and have a Bavarian derby against Augsburg to contend with today. Pep Guardiola will be without Arjen Robben for a month though after the Dutchman picked up a groin strain during his country’s shock 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying defeat at home to Iceland. – AFP.
