Following another training session in Dortmund-Brackel in the morning, the Borussia Dortmund team had lunch and then travelled to Dusseldorf airport, where they boarded a flight to Dubai in the early afternoon.

The Airbus A380 is scheduled to land in Dubai at 00:15 local time (21:15 CET). There the team will be provided with optimal training conditions for their preparations for the second half of the season.

Two friendly matches have been arranged for the nine-day tour: on 12 January against Eintracht Frankfurt and on 15 January against South Korean champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

Our TV channel "BVB total!" will be reporting from Dubai on a daily basis. (br)
