Can sent off as Dortmund loses again and Leverkusen drops more points in Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can has been sent off as his team slumped to its sixth straight away defeat by 3-1 at Mainz

NOVEMBER 9 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alexander Meyer - Saves six in loss Meyer made six saves but did give up three goals in a 3-1 loss to Mainz Saturday.

Impact The scoreboard could've looked much worse if not for Meyer's efforts. The goalkeeper did his best to keep his shorthanded side in the match but ultimately couldn't make enough stops. Things might be easier in two weeks against a Freiburg side that hasn't scored in its last two league match.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Serhou Guirassy - Converts penalty in loss Guirassy scored from the spot in Borussia Dortmund's 3-1 loss to Mainz Saturday.

He has a goal in back-to-back league matches but will be challenged to add one against Freiburg in two weeks. Freiburg has only allowed 11 goals in 10 league matches this season.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Ryerson - Aiming for weekend return Ryerson (groin) is expected to be an option for Saturday's trip to Mainz, confirmed manager Nuri Sahin.

Impact Ryerson looks to be ready to make a return to the pitch after missing the last two matches with a groin injury. However, he will likely be a late call to start, pending fitness. He's started the last 11 games in a row in all competitions, collecting a goal and an assist with 22 crosses (five accurate), 11 tackles and 11 interceptions. In any case, Pascal Gross could see another appearances in the starting XI at right back, if Ryerson isn't fit to start.
