Borussia Dortmund holds public training session following Champions League win

Borussia Dortmund held a public training session at the Dortmund-Brackel training ground on Thursday morning. The squad gathered at 11 a.m. for a session involving 20 players, occurring two days after the team's 3-2 victory against Villarreal CF in the UEFA Champions League. The training was briefly interrupted by the activation of mobile phone alerts across Germany for a nationwide warning day. Head coach Niko Kovac oversaw the workout, which featured the return of Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini to the pitch. The players trained in two separate groups for approximately one hour in front of spectators. The team now prepares for a Bundesliga match against SC Paderborn scheduled to take place at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK in two days.
