Borussia Dortmund vs Cerezo Osaka: Pre-Season Preview, Team Updates, and Live Streaming Information
Borussia Dortmund’s 2024 Asia Tour concludes with a friendly match against Cerezo Osaka at Nagai Stadium in Japan.
The game marks a reunion with former Borussia Dortmund player Shinji Kagawa, who now leads Cerezo Osaka. After a heavy 4-0 loss to BG Pathum United in Thailand, Borussia Dortmund will look to improve their performance and gain more match fitness.
Cerezo Osaka, currently sixth in the J1 League, will aim to deliver another upset. Kagawa, who scored 60 goals and made 55 assists in 216 appearances for BVB, will be a key player for the Japanese side.
Borussia Dortmund head coach Nuri Sahin will be without several key players, including those still involved in Euro 2024 and Gio Reyna, who did not travel to Japan. Despite these absences, the starting XI will feature first-team regulars such as Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Süle, Felix Nmecha, and Julian Ryerson. Young talents Paris Brunner and Almugera Kabar, who impressed against Pathum United, may also play a significant role.
