This getting unreal. Do you think it’s only incredibly bad luck?
Dortmund also use to have 10-15 injured players in the Hitzfeld era. Part of the explanation was that they were signing a lot of aging stars. Any explanation for the current situation?

[jonam]

i think it's just bad luck, but there are also theories ssaying that it MAYBE have something to do with new shoe architectures (other type of cleats).

i don't think so, but in these days you'll never know.


btw: dede's injury was only a minor one and maybe he is back tomorrow against freiburg. addo has "only" part of his right cruciate ligament ruptured (for the third time!) and will wear a cast for 6 weeks. then it will be decided whether he will have an operation or not.

I just think its awful, awful luck.

[Basti]

Practically the first 11 which is quite sad but hey I'm not losing any sleep because it's DORTMUND !!


However you guys are still getting the results and remaining in the top 5 which is good.

Good enough to be above Schalke but not Bayern

the story continues: :-(

it seems dede got a minor ligament injury in the bochum match. right now they say he will miss at least 1 week. that plus kehl' red card (which doesn't count for dfb pokal on wednesday) makes me feel we are going through tough times.
