Aubameyang, who was dropped from the squad for Dortmund’s 0-0 draw with Wolfsburg last Sunday, was again omitted from the side that drew 1-1 at Hertha Berlin. “It’s not a suspension but a sporting decision,” Zorc said. “There is nothing really concrete on the table. There’s a lot of rubbish.” Aubameyang was originally dropped for missing a club appointment, with manager Peter Stoger saying he felt the player was “not so focused at the moment.”

Antonio Conte has insisted that Andreas Christensen was fine to continue in Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Brighton on Saturday, despite being substituted with a head injury in the second half. “Andreas had a contusion,” Conte said. “We made a substitution, but the player didn’t want to come off.
