+++ 18:10: The first training session +++

Training is over: The Borussia players finish off with a lap around the pitch.

+++ 17:45: Start of training +++

Playing out from the back is the focus of today's training. Niko Kovac repeatedly interrupts the drill with loud interventions. Gregor Kobel brings the ball into play via one of the two centre-backs.

+++ 17:15: Internship as a bus driver +++

A quick look at BVB TV: Minh has once again landed a coveted internship and this time he is accompanying our bus driver Christian ‘Schulle’ Schulz on the way to the training camp in Saalfelden. See the new VLOG to find out how the bus is repacked between the test match in Iserlohn and the departure for Austria, what Karim Adeyemi thinks of Minh's driving skills and which old mentor the young intern meets again.

The warm-up is over. The players are no longer cycling under the tent roof, and the first ones are already on the pitch. The weather? It's raining. Rain jackets are therefore the garment of choice for almost everyone. Niko Kovac has scheduled running exercises for the start, which are being carried out under the supervision of the fitness trainers.

+++ 16:30: First training session in Austria +++

The team has arrived at the training ground. Instead of training at the SaalfeldenArena as planned, the professionals are training on a side pitch. The training ground at the SaalfeldenArena is unplayable due to heavy rain. However, before they take to the pitch, there is a warm-up programme on the bikes.

+++ 13:10: Hello, Saalfelden +++

Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer is where we will be staying for the next few days. The first BVB fans are already waiting for the players at the hotel. And of course, they won't miss the opportunity to get autographs and take selfies.

+++ 11:45: Hello, Austria +++

We have arrived at Salzburg Airport. Now we're off to the team buses and then on to Saalfelden.

There they are.

+++ 9:50: Arrival at the airport +++

Here we go, the team have arrived at Dortmund Airport! Check-in, security and then the plane will take off for Salzburg. Estimated arrival time: 11:45. These players are on board.
