Preseason underway – BVB pros undergo performance diagnostics

It's back to work at the training ground in Dortmund-Brackel: Borussia Dortmund's first-team squad began their preparations for the 2024/25 season on Wednesday with performance diagnostics.

38 days before the cup match against Phönix Lübeck (17 August, 18:00 CEST), the new coaching team led by Nuri Sahin welcomed the first BVB squad members back to the training ground. However, the doctors and fitness coaches were in charge of the performance diagnostics. After the medical examination, the players went into the hall, where the tried-and-tested programme of strength, jumping and balance exercises as well as the lactate test on the treadmill awaited them.

Goalkeeper Alex Meyer and centre-back Niklas Süle were the first Borussia players to go through the various stations. Tom Rothe and Soumaila Coulibaly were also part of the group after returning from their loan spells. The international players, including new signing Waldemar Anton, are expected back in Dortmund at the end of July after their holidays.
