The senior team's ranks are gradually filling up once more. While the international break is still yet to finish, the first national team players are now returning to BVB to begin their preparations with each other for the league match on Saturday against Sportclub Freiburg.

Shinji Kagawa for example, among others, is now back in Dortmund and completed the first training session with the two new signings Jeremy Toljan and Jadon Sancho. Ukraine man Andrey Yarmolenko is expected for the second half of the week.

After the open-door training session had concluded, the senior team players signed autographs for the fans and posed for photographs with them. (br)
