Karim Adeyemi could make his comeback for Dortmund against Barça

Karim Adeyemi was one of Dortmund's best players until his injury. In 8 matches he had scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists, despite playing an average of 63 minutes. His brilliant start, the best in the three seasons he has been with the team, has been halted by a muscle tear he suffered against Celtic at the beginning of October. The striker was substituted and has not played since that day.

Before the trip to Mönchengladbach, the German international returned to training with his teammates and Nuri Sahin, coach of the black and yellow team, was very satisfied. Thus, he declared the following: "He did surprisingly well for someone who is returning to train with the team for the first time." Although he was not finally called up, there is a possibility that, four days later, he will appear in the squad for the Champions League match against FC Barcelona.

The Munich-born striker, who briefly played for Bayern, is a player that Barça has been keeping an eye on for years. In 2021, when he exploded with Salzburg, the club considered the possibility of signing him, but the chosen one was Ferrán Torres at Xavi's express request. In addition to the Valencian, Dani Alves and Aubameyang arrived for free in the January transfer market, as well as Adama Traoré on loan. Regarding the German player, he arrived at Borussia Dortmund in 2022, as a replacement for Erling Braut Haaland. In fact, on May 10, his signing was announced just an hour after Manchester City announced the arrival of the Norwegian.

Adeyemi was able to wear the Blaugrana shirt and could now return to the pitch against the Catalans. If he does, he is not expected to start, as he arrives after a muscle injury and with few group training sessions.
