    Dortmund Facing Crucial Leverkusen Test As Bundesliga Resumes

    By IANS News January 09, 2025 • 23:54 PM View: 657
    FIFA Club World Cup: The biggest challenge yet awaits Borussia Dortmund as the 2024/2025 season resumes following an unusual and disrupted winter break. With just 19 days off, coach Nuri Sahin's squad skipped traditional training camps and friendly matches, preparing for a critical clash against reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen this Friday.

    After a tumultuous first half of the season, Sahin aimed to build team spirit by instituting two daily training sessions and a mandatory team lunch. Despite this, Dortmund currently sits sixth on 25 points, with second-placed Leverkusen (32 points) closing the gap on Bayern Munich (36 points), reigniting its title ambitions.

    Leverkusen, having shaken off a shaky start to the season, is back in form under coach Xabi Alonso, and a win on Friday would keep their title hopes alive. Despite speculation about the futures of Alonso and star midfielder Florian Wirtz, the team has maintained its momentum, reports Xinhua.
