As the summer transfer deadline approaches, Borussia Dortmund continues to manage squad changes and injury concerns. The club is actively seeking replacements for Giannis Konstantelias, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear during his Bundesliga debut. Potential targets include Jonathan David, amid competition from Atlético Madrid, and Jadon Sancho. Regarding player availability, midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has confirmed he will remain with the club for the 2026/27 season despite ten inquiries from other clubs, including FC Bologna. Meanwhile, Justin Lerma remains sidelined with a muscular injury. In the DFB-Pokal, Dortmund secured a 5-0 victory against fifth-tier Hamburg Eimsbütteler Ballspiel-Club (HEBC) in the first round. Held at the Volksparkstadion to accommodate high demand, the match saw a record attendance of 45,917 spectators for a match involving a fifth-division club. The victory featured goals from an own goal by Janek Wrede, Daniel Svensson, Samuele Inacio (two goals), and Fabio Silva, with reserve goalkeeper Alexander Meyer making a starting appearance. HEBC, a regional club from the Oberliga Hamburg, described the event as the “match of the century” for their 115-year history. Following the win, the club is now preparing for an upcoming Champions League home fixture against Villarreal CF.
