BVB, News: Expert expects great things from Donyell Malen
Rik Elfrink, long-time reporter for Eindhoven Dagblad and thus a connoisseur of PSV, has raved about BVB striker Donyell Malen and sees immense potential in the striker. “He will be a huge scorer! I am sure that he will also be a really good striker in the Bundesliga,” said Elfrink at Sport1.
After starting difficulties, Malen recently scored in three games in a row, including the win in Wolfsburg. Elfrink had already noticed during Malen’s time in the Netherlands that things did not go optimally from day one. “He came to Holland from Arsenal in 2017 at a young age and didn’t score seven or eight games in a row at Jong PSV in the second division.
For the first team of the traditional club, the 22-year-old scored 55 times in 116 competitive games (24 assists) before moving to BVB with high expectations as the successor to Jadon Sancho. According to Elfrink, self-confidence should not fail: “I got to know Donyell as a player who has a lot of confidence in himself. He also missed great opportunities in Eindhoven, but never gave the impression that he had a head problem. He thinks so of his abilities. “
Even the higher level in the Bundesliga will not cause Malen any problems in the long run. Instead, he will continue to improve: “What makes him strong is his speed in the first few meters. If he gets up to speed, he also scores goals. Dortmund has brought in a good player with him.” Nevertheless, due to his young age, he “still needs time to really grow up as a player”.
BVB, News: Hospital is getting smaller – question marks remain
Before the game against Bayern, coach Marco Rose can look forward to additional options in the squad and a return from training. On Tuesday, Giovanni Reyna took part in team training for the first time since the beginning of September. A serious muscle injury had paralyzed him since then. However, the game against FCB comes too early.
While Thorgan Hazard continues to fail (Corona), it looks better with Raphael Guerreiro. After the Portuguese had to pass at short notice at the Champions League out in Lisbon due to muscular problems, nothing stands in the way of a mission. Erling Haaland should be in the starting line-up after his short comeback against Wolfsburg.
However, the participation of youngster Jude Bellingham is still open. After suffering a knee bruise in Lisbon, the Englishman did not take part in training on Wednesday, so a decision can only be made at short notice. With the recently recovered Emre Can and Mahmoud Dahoud, however, there are alternatives for Rose.
BVB, rumor: first round for Moukoko probably over
The first half of the season has apparently been over for the storm jewel Youssoufa Moukoko, who has been plagued by some injuries.
As the Ruhr news report that Moukoko suffered another muscle injury (fiber tear) and will no longer be used until the end of the year.
For Moukoko it is a symbolic end to what has been anything but satisfactory first half at BVB. To date, the 17-year-old has only made six appearances in the Bundesliga (97 minutes, one assist) and was only in the starting line-up once. In the DFB-Pokal he only makes a short appearance at a time.
Further information on the situation of Moukoko can be found here.
