| | After run ends, BVB are looking for a win against Frankfurt on Sunday
| | | | [30.01.] The players have an off day on Tuesday. After the end of their 12-game unbeaten run in which they gathered 30 out of 36 possible points and climbed from 15th to fourth in the Bundesliga, BVB were licking their wounds following the 4-1 defeat at Stuttgart. "We didnīt play well, but with a bit of luck we could have earned a point," said Mats Hummels. | | |  | | Gritted his teeth in Stuttgart: Felipe Santana. | Since teams like Bremen and Hoffenheim or Hamburg and Wolfsburg, all rivals for a place in Europe next season, either lost or didnīt win, the situation in the standings for BVB remained unchanged. They are still eight points ahead of sixth place. "If we beat Frankfurt on Sunday, the defeat to Stuttgart will be forgotten," said goalkeeper Marc Ziegler.
Tuesday is by the way only an off day for the players who are not nursing an injury and there are currently not so many left in Borussia Dortmundīs thin squad. The clubīs medical department is taking care of Sven Bender (knee injury) almost around the clock to get him fit for Sundayīs game against Frankfurt. But itīs not yet clear whether they will succeed. Kuba, who limped off in Stuttgart with a strained groin, will undergo a scan today. And Felipe Santana is suffering from a swollen ankle.
BVB coach Jürgen Klopp will also be without Tinga for another six to eight weeks. The 32-year-old Brazilian underwent groin surgery in Brazil. Due to his recurrent problems, Tinga was forced to leave the reserve sideīs training camp early, and in consultation with the clubīs doctors travelled to his home country. According to BVBīs director of sports, Michael Zorc, the surgery "went well."
