He played 210 competitive games for BVB and only extended his contract in early summer until 2023. But is Roman Bürki now being kicked out of Dortmund’s goal?
At the start of the Champions League in Lazio (1: 3), his Swiss colleague Marwin Hitz is back between the posts, as he did in the Bundesliga games against Freiburg (4: 0) and Hoffenheim (1: 0 ). Bürki was still missing due to an infection. Respectively: In the duel with Hoffenheim, he was saved due to his illness-related absence.
“Hitz has done a very good job so far”
And in Rome? Coach Lucien Favre just puts him back on the bench. Why did Hitz do his job so well that he caused a hierarchy change? In any case, the Dortmund manager manages without a clear announcement. He is cautious and says to “Sky” with a mischievous smile: “We have very good goalkeepers.”
Sporting director Michael Zorc later offers a little more clarity: “Lucien Favre made a decision for today or for last Saturday. Roman was a bit battered. “Then he adds,” This is not a blanket decision. “
However, Favre explicitly praises Hitz. The substitute goalkeeper had “done his job very well so far.” Who will be in goal on Saturday at the Revierderby against Schalke? (mpe)
