Defender Marc Bartra sustained a strain to his adductor muscle during the match against VfL Wolfsburg. He was forced to signal that he needed to come off in just the twelfth minute of the game.

Bartra assisted the opening goal of the game with an excellent pass to Raphael Guerreiro to give the Dortmund the lead eight minutes prior to his injury, in a match which subsequently turned into a 5-1 rout of Wolfsburg.
