As the summer break approaches, Borussia Dortmund gave their loyal supporters one last special moment to remember with an open training session that drew 750 passionate fans to the training ground. The atmosphere was electric, but the session also highlighted some notable absences that kept fans buzzing with discussion.
Julian Ryerson and Marcel Sabitzer were missing from the action, both following individual training management programs designed to keep them in peak condition. Meanwhile, Emre Can and Ramy Bensebaini sat out due to injury, leaving the squad a bit thin. Head coach Niko Kovac was also without his promising trio of youngsters—Filippo Mane, Mathis Albert, and Almugera Kabar—who are currently in London. They are set to compete in the Premier League International Cup final on Tuesday evening, facing Real Madrid's youth team in what promises to be a thrilling matchup (available to watch live on YouTube).
Despite these absences, the session was a hit, and the players made sure to give back to the fans who showed up. After the drills wrapped up, the squad took plenty of time for autographs, selfies, and heartfelt chats, turning the event into a memorable sendoff before the summer hiatus. For Dortmund supporters, it was the perfect way to cap off a season of public training sessions—and a reminder of the strong bond between the team and its faithful followers.
