Borussia Dortmund wants Jobe Bellingham to reduce his muscle mass to play at his full tempo. The Englishman's body build is currently too massive to fully utilize his speed.
What's wrong with Bellingham?
Bellingham has had a mixed half-year. He has only started in five Bundesliga games and is still waiting for his first Bundesliga goal for Borussia Dortmund.
How does Borussia Dortmund react?
Contrary to other speculations, a winter departure is not an issue. The BVB still holds the Englishman, who was signed in the summer and has a contract until 2030, in high regard.
What's next?
Bellingham will also miss the away game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday evening, after he was unable to participate in the 2-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
