Jude Bellingham is injured and unlikely to figure for Borussia Dortmund this weekend in a blow to the club’s battle with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. Dortmund, one point behind the perennial champions with two games to play, travel to Augsburg tomorrow, with Bayern hosting Freiburg 24 hours earlier.
The England international’s importance to Dortmund was evident in last Saturday’s win over Borussia Moenchengladbach, when the 19-year-old was asked to take a penalty with his side leading 1-0. Bellingham, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, converted for his 14th goal of the season in all competitions, and Dortmund won 5-2 to stay on Bayern’s heels.
But he emerged from the game complaining of knee pain. Dortmund coach Edin Terzic conceded “there’s a big question mark, we’ve just got to wait and see”. “Since the game Jude hasn’t been able to train with us. It’s not going to be any good if I pick him and he says after four minutes that he’s not right,” added Terzic.

I’ll have no problem celebrating title on the couch says Bayern’s Tuchel
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel said he will be happy to win the first Bundesliga title of his career without his team kicking a ball as long as the Bavarians bag their 11th straight league title. Bayern take on third-placed RB Leipzig today and will go four points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with a win. A Dortmund defeat at Augsburg tomorrow would seal the title for Bayern with a game to spare.
“I have no problem with that at all,” Tuchel, who has also coached Mainz 05 and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, told a press conference when asked if winning the title while sitting on a couch would take away some of the excitement. “As long as we win the title, I don’t care at all how it happens. As long as it happens,” he said.
Tuchel, who left Germany to coach Paris St Germain and Chelsea, took over at Bayern from Julian Nagelsmann at the end of March but his team then crashed out of the German Cup and Champions League in the last eight. He is, however, two wins away from guaranteeing his first German league crown, in what is the toughest domestic season for Bayern in years.
Tuchel won the domestic league in France and the Champions League with Chelsea but has won only a German Cup with his Bundesliga teams.
