Haaland set for surprise early return but BVB lose Bellingham | OneFootball

Erling Haaland has recovered from his injury and could come off the bench for Borussia Dortmund against Wolfsburg on Saturday, coach Marco Rose has confirmed.

Haaland has missed Dortmund’s last seven matches with a hip-flexor injury and reports earlier in the week claimed he wasn’t expected to play again this calendar year.

But speaking in his Friday press conference, Rose confirmed the Norwegian is feeling good and will travel with the team to Wolfsburg.

“We will have Erling on the bus to Wolfsburg,” Rose told reporters on Friday.

“He feels good. But it will amount to a short stint at most.”

But it’s not good news regarding Jude Bellingham, who will miss the Wolfsburg game due to an injury picked up during the Champions League defeat to Sporting CP.

“Jude Bellingham is out, he took a blow to the knee in Lisbon. But it’s nothing serious.”
