Nuri Sahin Faces Flu Crisis, Targets Crucial Win

Nuri Sahin, head coach of Borussia Dortmund, is facing a major challenge as six of his players have been struck by the flu just ahead of a crucial Bundesliga clash against Holstein Kiel. Despite these hurdles, Sahin remains determined to lead his team to victory, underscoring their commitment to delivering results.

In a press briefing, Sahin stated, "We are in a tough spot with several players unwell. However, our aim remains unchanged—to win and take three points. Regardless of who is available, our focus is on the game."

The affected players include key squad members such as Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Waldemar Anton, Ramy Bensebaini, Alexander Meyer, and Felix Passlack. Their participation remains uncertain, posing a significant test for the squad's depth.

Sahin acknowledged the impact of these absences in their previous match, adding, "The situation challenges us, but we need to adapt and find solutions quickly. Our opponents won't give us any leeway, and we must respond with resilience."

There is some optimism surrounding the return of players such as Karim Adeyemi, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Donyell Malen. Sahin commented, "Their recovery is progressing well. While it's too early to confirm their readiness for this match, we hope they can rejoin the team soon."

This upcoming game against Holstein Kiel holds immense importance for Dortmund as they look to bounce back from their previous defeat. Despite the odds, Sahin has rallied his players, emphasizing their collective strength and determination to overcome adversity.
