The eighth day of Borussia Dortmund’s training camp in Bad Ragaz had another tough training session in store for the players.

Farewell to the fans
The second training session on Monday was also the last one with the fans in attendance as the Tuesday’s sessions will take place behind closed doors. After breakfast on Wednesday the team will then be leaving for Wroclaw where BVB have another preseason friendly later that day. Borussia Dortmund would like to thank all the fans for their exemplary behaviour during the training camp in Bad Ragaz!

Lactate tests for the World Cup winners
Shortly after their arrival in the team hotel, Kevin Grosskreutz and Erik Durm went to the local athletics facility to have their lactate levels checked along with Marco Reus. The tests were done by sports scientists of the University of Saarbrücken who had specifically travelled to Switzerland for this occasion.

Gündogan back in business
In the meantime, Ilkay Gündogan is slowly but steadily coming back. On Sunday and Monday, the midfielder finally laced up his boots again and took part in a few exercises with the ball.
