Still not fully fit Kobel will need to prove he's fit enough to play in the final training session ahead of Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Edin Terzic.

Impact Kobel was on the bench for Wednesday's UCL win over Sevilla but evidently needs a little longer to guarantee he can start in a tough game over the weekend. If Kobel doesn't make it back in time, Alexander Meyer will get another start after conceding nine goals in his six starts so far.

On bench Wednesday Kobel (strain) was named to the match-day squad versus Sevilla on Wednesday.

Impact Kobel being at least a substitute option for Wednesday's clash should clear the way for him to reclaim his spot between the sticks after having the previous five contests. Prior to his absence, the keeper earned three clean sheets in five outings while making 23 saves.

Travels with team, still in doubt Kobel (strain) made the trip to Sevilla with his teammates but is still unlikely to play in Wednesday's match at Sevilla, according to Patrick Berger of SPORT 1.

Impact Kobel hasn't played in over a month but the fact that he was permitted to travel should mean he's not far off from match fitness. While Alexander Meyer is likely to make another start in Wednesday's game, Kobel can look at Saturday's Der Klassiker matchup against Bayern Munich with more optimism as he might be able to play.

Still out Kobel (strain) won't be available for Saturday's trip to Koln, according to manager Edin Terzic.

Impact Kobel had the chance to play but in the end was given a little more time to rest. One would think he'll hope to return by the Oct. 5 UCL match against Sevilla and be at full fitness in time for Der Klassiker against Bayern Munich on Oct. 8. Until that happens, Alexander Meyer will remain in goal after conceding five goals and keeping two clean sheets in four starts.

Expected to return Kobel (strain) is expected to return to training before Saturday's trip to Koln, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Kobel is expected to return for the first match after the international break, lining up with his original timeline. Alexander Meyer struggled filling his shoes and it's possible if Kobel deals with future injuries that Marcel Lotka earns the call up from the Dortmund II roster.

Impact Kobel made six saves on the way to one of the best performances of his young career. This is the type of showing fantasy managers have been seeking from the keeper since he joined Dortmund from Stuttgart. If he can finally live up to the hype Kobel has the potential to become the new top dog in the Bundesliga as Manuel Neuer enters the twilight of his career.

Impact Kobel's name came up as he had some minor issues towards the end of the season but still started 29 matches plus eight more in European competition. Whether or not he also plays in the domestic cup is something we will find out soon and he doesn't have much competition for the starting spot for now.

Solidifies starting role Kobel (undisclosed) made 29 starts, keeping seven clean sheets with 74 saves in the Bundesliga.

Impact Kobel joined Dortmund ahead of the season with many expecting a battle for the starting role with Marwin Hitz. If there was any sort of battle it was settled long before the season as Kobel came in and immediately took the starting role. An injury late in the season saw Kobel's playing time cut short, but there's no reason to doubt he's the top option for Dortmund heading into the 2022/23 season.

Impact Kobel had two saves to make and made them both with ease to earn his seventh clean sheet of the campaign.

Poor in loss Kobel made one save and two clearances during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leipzig.

Impact Kobel had an absolutely awful Saturday, as he was beaten multiple times by a rampant Leipzig attack. The keeper has been in poor form of late, though he should have a strong chance to bounce back against Stuttgart. If he can't bounce back there, then it's probably curtains for Kobel's season as a fantasy asset.
