"Unfortunately, we've been hit by a wave of colds this week," Terzic remarked at his presser, "Süle, Bensebaini and Özcan have been unable to train with the team over the last few days. We'll wait and see today and tomorrow to make a final decision. But of course time is running out."
The loss of Süle and Bensebaini likely leaves Terzic little choice but to deploy the fullback pairing of Julian Ryerson (left) and Marius Wolf (right) against the league leaders tomorrow. Both Ryerson and Wolf have been on a poor run-of-form as of late. Reports emerging from Sky Germany yesterday suggested that Dortmund - highly displeased with Wolf's form dip - are prepared to let the German international leave as a free-agent this summer.
