Nico Schlotterbeck set to stay at Borussia Dortmund despite Real Madrid links — report German defender is expected to remain at BVB as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury

JULY 16 • MANAGINGMADRID.COM

Mussa Kaba - Following individual program Kaba is preparing his return outside the group and following an individual rehabilitation program, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Kaba will be reintegrated into the professional squad gradually after dealing with multiple setbacks last season, and did not take part in team training at the start of preseason as a result. Dortmund are taking a cautious approach to increasing his workload, giving the 17 year old the time needed for a full return to fitness following an injury disrupted campaign. No timeline has been set for when he will rejoin full team training. Kaba is expected to continue his individual program as the club monitors his progress.

Nico Schlotterbeck - Out for start of season Schlotterbeck (ankle) will miss the start of the new season due to a torn ankle ligament, according to sporting director Lars Ricken, per WAZ.

Impact Schlotterbeck has already returned to Dortmund but is currently finishing his rehabilitation at the club's training center and is not yet participating in team training. He will miss the season opening German Super Cup against Bayern Munich on Aug. 22 and the Bundesliga opener against Hamburg a week later. Dortmund hope to have him back around the first international break in late September, though that timeline will depend on how his recovery progresses. Schlotterbeck's absence marks a setback after recent cautious optimism around a potential start of season return, leaving the club without one of its most important defensive players for the time being.

Julian Ryerson - No injury, just cramping Ryerson (calf) was not seriously injured after being forced off during Norway's World Cup quarterfinal against England, with the issue attributed to cramping, according to Ruhr Nac...

Impact Ryerson had already been managing discomfort in the area for some time, having been forced off early in Norway's group stage match against Senegal and subsequently missing two matches due to the recurring issue. Those same concerns had raised questions about his availability heading into the new season, with an initial expectation of around three weeks out pending further assessment. This latest scare, however, was confirmed as cramping rather than a fresh setback. Ryerson is expected to resume training with Dortmund in early August following the club's tour of Asia, after currently enjoying his post-World Cup vacation.

Julian Ryerson - Out at least three weeks Ryerson is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks due to a recurring injury issue, though the full extent of the problem remains unclear, according to BILD.

Impact Ryerson was forced off early during Norway's second World Cup group-stage match against Senegal and subsequently missed the following two contests. Team doctor Ole Sand had previously revealed that the defender had been managing discomfort in the affected area for some time and required rest during the tournament. Those issues have now resurfaced, raising concerns about his availability heading into the new season. While Ryerson is currently expected to miss around three weeks, further medical assessments will determine whether a longer absence is necessary.

Gregor Kobel - Allows three against Argentina Kobel recorded four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Argentina.

Impact Kobel had a solid match for Switzerland with his four saves, but was unable to keep the clean sheet, allowing an early 10th-minute goal that was followed by two more goals in extra time. This comes after consecutive clean sheets throughout the knockout stage, with those his only two clean sheets of the tournament. He would also record six goals allowed and 20 saves in his six appearances.

From Birmingham To The World Cup: How Jude Bellingham Became An England Hero

Julian Ryerson - Leaves with injury against England Ryerson abandoned Saturday's quarter-finals clash with England while dealing with apparent calf discomfort.

Impact Ryerson logged an hour of play before getting hurt, but he was forced to leave his place on the field to Fredrik Aursnes. The Borussia Dortmund man has done a good job on the right flank, but his involvement has already been limited by muscular issues previously in the competition, making his status a major concern for the squad if they advance to subsequent rounds.

Gregor Kobel - Brilliant against Colombia Kobel made three saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout win against Colombia.

Impact Kobel denied the opposition some big opportunities throughout the game, and he also stopped Cucho Hernandez's shootout penalty kick, leading Switzerland to a historic quarter-finals qualification. The goalkeeper has been solid across five appearances at the international competition, allowing only three goals and keeping his goal unbeaten in each of the two knockout contests so far. Up next he'll face Argentina's powerful offense, which has scored three goals in three straight games.

Julian Ryerson - Logs 63 minutes against Brazil Ryerson registered one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brazil.

Impact Ryerson had a decent outing but wasn't very impressive in the decisive zone during his return to the starting lineup following a two-game injury absence. He was replaced by Fredrik Aursnes just after the first hour of play, when Norway had yet to concede a goal. Prior to his injury, Ryerson had also taken a few set pieces, though Martin Odegaard and Patrick Berg were preferred for corner-kick duties against Brazil. The offensive-minded right-back will look to see increased action in the upcoming quarter-finals stage.

Julian Ryerson - Makes starting XI Ryerson (thigh) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brazil.

Impact Ryerson is back in the team sheet and ready to play from the start, as he has been listed in the starting XI. This is a major return for the team as they gain back one of their better two-way defenders, giving the team the option to open up a bit more on the right side of the field. However, he could be in for a long day of defending on Sunday, having to deal with Vinicius Junior on his flank.

Julian Ryerson - Should be available Sunday Ryerson (thigh) has trained fully with Norway for the past two days and should be available for Sunday's round of 16 clash against Brazil, according to coach Stale Solbakken, per V...

Impact Ryerson missed Norway's last two matches after picking up a thigh injury early against Senegal, and his return to pain-free training is a significant positive sign ahead of a demanding assignment against Brazil. The final decision on whether he starts will depend on how he responds in the remaining sessions before kickoff.

Julian Ryerson - Back in training but still a doubt Ryerson (thigh) returned to full training with Norway ahead of their World Cup round-of-16 clash against Brazil, though his availability remains uncertain, according to NRK.

Impact Ryerson has missed Norway's last two matches after picking up a thigh injury early against Senegal, sitting out the wins over Ivory Coast and France, and the team doctor had placed his odds of being fit for Brazil at under 50 percent. Training on both Friday and Saturday is a positive sign against that backdrop, though it is unclear whether it comes in time to make him Norway's starting right back for Sunday's round of 16 clash. If he does start, he faces a demanding assignment to contain Vinicius Junior, one of the tournament's most dangerous wingers, a task that would only get harder if Ryerson isn't at full fitness.

Diant Ramaj - Returns to Dortmund from loan Ramaj has returned to Borussia Dortmund after his season-long loan at Heidenheim expired, with Heidenheim not planning to extend the loan or sign him permanently.

Impact Ramaj was Heidenheim's undisputed number one this past season, playing every minute of the club's matches and establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga's more reliable young goalkeepers, but Heidenheim were relegated, complicating their plans and pushing the club toward a different goalkeeping setup with 21-year-old Frank Feller. With his loan up, Ramaj is back at Dortmund, where he has a contract through 2029, but he has been vocal about not wanting to sit behind Gregor Kobel as a backup and says he needs regular playing time. Ramaj is set to return to Borussia Dortmund in summer 2026, where his future will then be assessed.

Ramy Bensebaini - Exits World Cup in Round of 32 Bensebaini had two tackles (zero won), three clearances and one interception in Thursday's 2-0 defeat to Switzerland.

Impact Bensebaini played 90 minutes for the fourth game in a row. He made three clearances during the game, and while he attempted two tackles, he was unable to win any. One of his passes in the direction of Rayan Ait-Nouri was left short, and therefore Switzerland were able to nip in and steal the ball and score the opener after a later clearance when wrong.

Marcel Sabitzer - Produces in Spain fixture Sabitzer registered eight crosses (two accurate), two clearances and two chances created and won one tackle in Thursday's 3-0 loss versus Spain.

Impact Sabitzer was one of the few bright spots for Austria in a rough defeat, pacing his side in both crosses and key passes, but his teammates didn't exploit his feeds. He has uncorked at least six deliveries in every World Cup match, accumulating 32 (nine accurate), scoring once and notching five chances created, five tackles (one won) and four shots (two on target).
