Impact Prates will miss Saturday's encounter against Eintracht Frankfurt after picking up a minor muscular issue that kept him out of Borussia Dortmund's latest training session. Although coach Kovac described the problem as relatively minor, the young defender has not recovered sufficiently to be considered for selection this weekend. Prates has played a limited role since the beginning of the 2026/27 campaign, recording just 14 minutes off the bench in his two Bundesliga appearances and failing to feature in competitive action since early September. His latest setback further delays his opportunity to earn additional playing time, although his absence is unlikely to significantly affect Dortmund's defensive rotation given his limited involvement. No specific recovery timeline has been established, but the minor nature of the problem suggests he could return to contention relatively soon.
