Jobe Bellingham looks set for his Borussia Dortmund debut after impressing in training ahead of their Club World Cup opener against Fluminense on Tuesday.
According to Bild, the 19-year-old could be “directly in the starting lineup” or come on as an “early substitute.”
BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl praised Bellingham’s professionalism and winning mentality in a recent interview.
“He’s clearly in rhythm, having played further into the season," he said.
“He’s a good kid - very open, but also possesses a winning mentality, the right discipline and professionalism. Jobe has already made his mark in training during the first few days.”
Bellingham joined Dortmund from Sunderland earlier this month.
