Gregor Kobel - Three saves for draw Kobel registered three saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-3 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Kobel stopped three of the six shots on his net during Friday's clash. It was an all-action affair between two teams that can push forward at will, and Kobel was only able to stem the bleeding at times. The goalkeeper is excellent normally, but he can sometimes be left out to dry by a disappointing Dortmund defense.

Julian Ryerson - Assists against Frankfurt Ryerson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Friday's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Ryerson set up one goal during Friday's all-action clash, getting in on the scoring fun and peppering the box with 10 crosses, eight from open play. That duty on set-pieces keeps his floor high and gives Ryerson bags of upside, especially against opponents that don't control the match.

Carney Chukwuemeka - Nets Friday Chukwuemeka scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Chukwuemeka scored Friday, making the most of his only shot on goal and a rare chance to bomb forward. He hasn't had many chances in the attacking third since joining Dortmund, but he can be an efficient finisher when he has chances.

Maximilian Beier - Scores Friday Beier scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Beier found the back of the net during Friday's draw, finishing nicely and getting back amongst the goals. Beier has been excellent in a variety of roles across the attack and has upside in any match, especially as Dortmund have gotten their offense flowing in recent months. Beier has the potential to score against any opposition in a busy schedule.

Impact Nmecha scored a rare goal during Friday's draw, making the most of limited chances to score a crucial goal during the draw. The midfielder isn't a constant offensive threat, but made the most of his chances during Friday's match. Nmecha will hope to keep this going in a busy January period.

Julien Duranville - Fit to play, not in plans Duranville (shoulder) fully recovered from his injury and is fit to play but remains out of the plans of coach Niko Kovac in Dortmund, according to Walfoot.

Impact Duranville featured several times with the U23 team and has fully recovered from his shoulder injury but remains out of the plans of coach Niko Kovac in Dortmund. The young Belgian forward didn't play a single minute with the Black and Yellow this season and will likely be looking for a new challenge during the transfer market as he seems not even included in the senior squad at the moment.

Aaron Anselmino - Still unavailable Anselmino (undisclosed) has trained individually and is not ready to be used in the weekend's matchup versus Frankfurt, according to the club.

Impact Anselmino will now miss a third consecutive game due to the injury, and will continue to work towards a return to full training. The defender was an interesting contributor in a four-game span between November and December, racking up one goal and an assist in addition to various defensive stats, so this issue limits the team's ability in both boxes. However, they'll likely be boosted by the return of Waldemar Anton, who could cover some of Anselmino's tasks.

Impact Anton had been sidelined since Dec. 10, with the team resorting to a back three made up of Niklas Sule, Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck over that span. However, perhaps the former two of those players will be at risk of losing their spots when Anton is back in the lineup. Prior to his injury, he scored two goals while averaging 4.8 clearances and 1.8 tackles per game in 19 appearances across all competitions.

Gregor Kobel - Dealing with illness Kobel (illness) is a doubt for Friday's clash against Frankfurt, according to Kicker.

Impact Kobel was withdrawn from the training camp in Marbella due to illness and is a doubt for Friday's clash against Frankfurt.
