Julian Nagelsmann: "We were going to take Gabriel Vidovic with us to Dortmund, unfortunately he suffered an injury yesterday and will be out for a few weeks"

Nagelsmann on Goretzka's fitness: "Let's say the chances (he would play) are 60-40, it won't be decided until tomorrow. The game is too big to let someone who isn't at 100% play. Jamal did well in that position. We have to wait and see"

Nagelsmann: "Sabi is still out for a while. Josh Kimmich will return over the course of next week, I'm not sure exactly when. Choupo could get out of quarantine tonight if the test is negative. But he will not be available tomorrow. Josip Stanišić will be out for around 6 weeks"

Nagelsmann on tomorrow's game: "The game will have a lot to offer. Everyone knows what's at stake with the teams at 30 and 31 points.
That's great for the league, it will be exciting. The motivation will be exceptionally high in both camps"

JN on Haaland: "He's of course a threat. Haaland is always lurking behind the opponent waiting for through balls. We have to prevent the quick transitions. But BVB also have a problem which is Lewy. Whoever has the opponent's best attacker under control will have a good chance"

JN on Lewandowski & the Ballon d'Or: "He doesn't look frustrated now. But he deserved to win it, so it probably hurts a bit. Now it's about the future and I think he can still win the award in the next few years. He can be disappointed, but he also has to draw new energy from it"

JN on 15,000 spectators in Dortmund tomorrow: "I have no idea whether it would have been a big disadvantage for us if the stadium had been sold out. But I'm happy when 15,000 come and create a good atmosphere. It's psychological kick that will spur us on well."

JN on Goretzka: "We don't yet know if Leon will be out. I hope he can play. If he can't, Jamal and Marc Roca are the alternatives. We're missing Kimmich & Sabi, but we're not going to complain. If players are out, it is what it is. We have to make the most out of the situation"

JN on Tolisso's future: "It's never good when players would leave for free. I've always rated him highly. Unfortunately, he was repeatedly out due to injuries. But he did very well against Bielefeld. He has outstanding qualities, which I also want to see against Dortmund"

JN on his recent role as spokesman for the club in various topics (vaccination, Qatar etc): "I'm taking it easy. I have no big problem with giving my opinion. I also answer other things that concern my employer. That is part of the job of a football coach"
