Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay
Gundogan may miss his club's DFB
Pokal match on Saturday due to an
ankle injury.
Gundogan was subbed off just before
half-time in his team's 3-0 friendly win
over fourth-tier side Kickers Wuerzburg
on Tuesday and Dortmund coach
Juergen Klopp confirmed after the match
the 22-year-old midfielder might miss
the cup clash with Wilhelmshaven.
The match with fourth-tier Wilhelmshaven will be Dortmund's second competitive
fixture of the season, following their 4-2 win over Bayern Munich in the Super Cup
last week.
Klopp conceded after the win over Wuerzburg that he was disappointed Gundogan
had gotten injured after warning his players to take it easy during the friendly.
"We shouldn't act like we are fighting for the World Cup every day," Klopp said.
"Today it was important to move around, try out stuff and not get any injuries.
"It didn't turn out totally as we planned because Ilkay Gundogan is slightly injured.
"What counts is the match on Saturday in the first round of the DFB Pokal."
