BVB is currently missing Erling Haaland due to a lack of training due to muscular problems. In the meantime, the ongoing vulnerability of the Norwegian has developed into a real problem for Dortmund, says ex-national player Stefan Effenberg.
The frequency of his muscle problems is “worrying,” Effenberg wrote in his column for t-online. “I don’t know how strong his muscles are, but at the age of 21, the frequency of these complaints is unusual.” Few other players of his class would have had such problems at his age.
BVB has already missed Haaland in 15 competitive games this season. Between the end of October and the end of November last year, he had to take a break due to hip flexor problems.
Nevertheless, it was “unthinkable” that BVB could hold Haaland beyond the summer, also because Dortmund was playing an “absolutely disappointing” season. It was “obviously not set up in such a way that it meets the requirements,” said Effenberg, adding: “The team “didn’t deliver in any way”.
