Borussia Dortmund will be without a number of key players for the visit of SC Freiburg on Saturday. Both Mats Hummels (torn ligament) and Sebastian Kehl (broken rib) have been ruled out for the defending champions' next fixture. Whilst both Marcel Schmelzer (shoulder), Jakub Blaszczykowski (adductor muscles) and Sven Bender (cold) are all doubts for [.
Repetita iuvant dicevano i latini. Ripetere giova. Ne sa qualcosa il Borussia Dortmund che, forte
del +8 sul Bayern, a tre giornate dalla fine della Bundesliga, si avvicina al suo secondo scudetto
consecutivo o, come lo chiamano dalle parti del Reno, al suo secondo meisterschale dopo quello
vinto la scorsa stagione.

Borussia Dortmund took a giant step towards retaining their Bundesliga title after beating
Schalke 2-1 yesterday. The win takes Dortmund 8 points clear at the top of the league after their
nearest challengers Bayern Munich were held to a barren draw at home to a stubborn Mainz.
Bayern's result will be a big psychological disadvantage ahead of their Champions League semi
final fixture with Madrid this week.
Ich würde mich ja lächerlich machen, wenn ich sagen würde, wir sind kein Meisterkandidat. Am
Ende zählt, dass wir im Mai oben stehen. Und das sieht im Moment ganz gut aus.
Sebastian Kehl, Mittelfeldspieler von Meister Borussia Dortmund, spricht zum ersten Mal in
dieser Saison über die Titelverteidigung und die Meisterschaft.
Schalke and Wolfsburg, this summer's biggest spenders, start their campaigns with zero points
out of nine. Somewhat vindicates Stuttgart's austerity, who spent €30m less and still achieved
the same result. At the other end of the table, a couple of relegation or midtable bound clubs
wonder what they are doing up there.

Dem BVB bleibt das Verletzungspech treu. Nachdem schon mit Sebastian Kehl und Tamas Hajnal zwei
Leistungsträger die Hinrunde abhaken mussten, hat es nun auch Dauerbrenner Dede getroffen. Erst
kürzlich von einem Kreuzbandriss im linken Knie genesen, hat es nun das rechte Knie erwischt, wenn
auch "nur" ein Innenbandriss.
Beim BVB hat man derzeit allen Grund, mit dem Schicksal zu hadern. Eine furiose Aufholjagd
katapultierte die Schwarz-Gelben in den letzten zehn Spieltagen vom Tabellennirvana ins obere
Tabellendrittel - jedoch nicht nach Europa. Die Verdienstmöglichkeiten in der neu geschaffenen
Euro League sind zwar vergleichsweise gering.
It's season review time to bridge the gap between now and the Euros or the next Rafael van der
Vaart transfer saga. It was a good season for... Money. The three biggest spenders this season -
based on their transfer deficit - were Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and second division side
Hoffenheim. Bayern's millions bought them a double, [.

Soft penalties are an epidemic. Stephane Mbia's challenge/rearranging of Sebastian Kehl's face
is not a soft penalty. This is earning every single bit of the penalty and then some, with Kehl
being subbed off. (He's fine, though probably not remembering much of pi.)
Arsenal conceded a late equaliser as they were pegged back to a 1-1 draw against Borussia
Dortmund in their opening Champions League Group F clash at the Westfalenstadion.
The German champions dominated the possession in the first half but Van Persie rounded off a
42nd-minute move that he started to give Arsenal the lead against the run of play.
It is deadline day and Arsene is slowly running out of time to sign that elusive holding
midfielder. A centre back or winger would also be rather nice. My mail is that Borussia Dortmund's
Sebastian Kehl could be on his way to the Emirates although BvB are very reluctant to sell. It is
sure to be [..
While proximity to naked footballers is our raison d'etre, we'd rather not be involved in the
kind of stripped to the waist, beer hurling merriment that immediately follows a league win.
There's enough of that in the Kickette office as it is.
Borussia Dortmund understand this, so once they'd finished buffing the dents out, they held a
celebratory Bundesliga trophy presentation dinner.
While staring at this photo of two Borussia Dortmund boys and their WAGs at a post-fashion show
party in honour of sweets and other high carb/high sugar delights, we were struck by one undeniable
truth: shop assistants lie. Oh, how they lie.
They lie to the innocent and cash-rich when they tell them, "Why yes, Mr Kehl, Palm Beach suits
are going to be huuuge this Spring.
With New Year's come and gone, all Bundesliga teams have ended their brief winter vacation and
have traveled to training camps in much warmer climates than Germany. Many teams have already
played warm-up test matches and have begun running out their newest winter signings. The second
half of the season begins with match day 18 on January 20.
There's hella thigh talent within the Bundesliga: Luca Toni & Mario Gomez are two fine examples.
This week, we're featuring a team you might not be able to locate on a map but will want to
anyway.
Borussia Dortmund.
No clue. But damn it, we're up for this.
Our TTO meat market participants for today are hair chameleon Neven Subotic and the GermanÂ
Mickey Blue Eyes Sebastian Kehl.

For this week's Thursday Thigh Off, we're featuring a team you might not be able to locate on a map
but will want to anyway.
The Argentinian striker, who recently returned to the club after a six-month absence due to a
dispute with Manchester City manager Roberto Macini, netted a hat trick in City's 6-1 win over
Norwich City. Sergio Aguero added a brace while Adam Johnson completed the rout in the 90th
minute.
