Borussia Dortmund entertain neighbors Paderborn on matchday 3. The hosts extended their perfect league start to the Bundesliga season with a narrow win over Villarreal in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Paderborn are yet to score on their return to the top-flight league.
Konstantinos Karetsas was discharged from the hospital after Tuesday's incident, but this game came too early for him. Ethan Nwaneri gets his first start in Niko Kovac's midfield for the Westphalian affair. Nico Schlotterbeck is also back in the lineup for the very first time.
Paderborn's striker Steffen Tigges starts on the bench in his return to his former club Dortmund. At the other end, goalkeeper Nahuel Noll hopes to continue his brilliant start to the campaign.
Here are the lineups as Borussia Dortmund aim to continue their perfect Bundesliga start.
BVB: Kobel; Gadou, Anton, Schlotterbeck ©; Ryerson, Veerman, Bellingham, Svensson; Nwaneri; Guirassy, Fabio Silva

"He knows his role in the team. Serhou Guirassy is our number one striker. He is the challenger." With these clear words, Niko Kovač made it plain at the press conference ahead of the season opener against Hamburger SV who is in charge in Dortmund's attack. But in football, two weeks can feel like an eternity. By now, the black-and-yellow world looks very different.
Because Fabio Silva has now become so important that he could even prompt a system change at Dortmund. Guirassy himself also raved about his competitor. "Fabio Silva and I really enjoy playing together and we have a lot of fun in training. He is a great player," he said after the Champions League win against Villarreal to the microphone of 'Amazon Prime'.
You can see what else the two say about each other here in the video.
Coach Kovač was also full of praise after the win against the Spaniards. Fabio Silva repeatedly worked his way into clear-cut chances and rewarded himself for his effort. "You can see that we can play this system with two strikers just as well as with one striker. If we now add Fabio (Silva, editor's note) alongside Serhou (Guirassy, editor's note) too - and we will - then we really have something special," said the BVB coach happily.
Few would probably have expected the Portuguese forward to be receiving this kind of praise right now. In the summer, there were rumors about a transfer because Silva had only rarely been able to meet expectations. According to 'Sky', the Bundesliga club would have been open to talks starting at a fee of 20 million euros. Both a loan and a sale were reportedly considered.

Fabio Grosso's dismissal by Fiorentina raises further questions over Paolo Maldini's shortlist for the Italy head coach position, with the former Viola boss previously considered alongside Andrea Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi.
Fiorentina parted ways with Grosso after he oversaw three consecutive Serie A defeats, bringing Paolo Vanoli back just three months after his departure.

Grosso completed his first full Serie A season as a coach in 2025-26, leading Sassuolo to a comfortable survival and convincing Fabio Paratici to give him a chance at the Stadio Franchi.
Regarded as one of the most exciting young coaches in Serie A, Grosso had also caught the attention of ex-Italy technical director Maldini, who retained his role for just two weeks in July.

Irina arrived in Venice wearing a fitted Alaïa dress styled with a Ferragamo Cara bag and Alaïa mesh shoes, proving that even her off-duty looks come with plenty of ****** appeal.
The slate-grey colour may be subdued, but there is nothing understated about the silhouette. This is classic Irina, and an easy introduction to her Venice wardrobe.

On Saturday, too, well over 10,000 Black-and-Yellows made the trip to Sinsheim. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation might have thought the Swedish national team was playing there, with large sections of the stands mixed in yellow and blue. "It felt like there were more BVB fans in the stadium than Hoffenheim fans," said managing director Lars Ricken with a wink.
But TSG Hoffenheim initially set the tone and deservedly took a 2-0 lead shortly after halftime. BVB responded after an hour, first leveling the score within five minutes through goals from Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva. Then, in the 86th minute, a deflected cross from Ethan Nwaneri led to an own goal and a 3-2 win for BVB.
Once again, late BVB goals in Sinsheim!
In September 2023, BVB went into halftime with a 2-1 lead, but after 70 minutes lost Ramy Bensebaini to a second yellow card. Down to ten men, the team defended its narrow advantage. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Julian Ryerson went on a solo run from deep inside his own half and capped it off with the goal for the final 3-1 scoreline.
A season later, in April 2025, the Black-and-Yellows were leading 2-1 after the 90 minutes had elapsed. But then Pavel Kaderabek made it 2-2. In the battle for Champions League qualification, two important points now seemed lost. Waldemar Anton refused to let them go. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, he fired his team to a 3-2 away win.

Merlin Polzin led his new-look Hamburg side out for their first home league fixture at the Volksparkstadion on Sunday afternoon, hosting a Mainz team with a familiar feel to them.
As Nicolai Remberg and Nadiem Amiri led their teams onto the pitch, Hamburg's Nordtribüne paid a touching tribute to the late Kevin Keegan with a wonderful choreo before kick-off. The Englishman, revered in the Hanseatic City after his exploits in the late 70s, sadly passed away in July.
Hamburg suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund on the opening day, and Polzin saw fit to make four changes to the starting XI that turned out in the Ruhrgebiet. A busy deadline day saw three new arrivals at the Volksparkstadion, with David Møller Wolfe and Zakaria El Ouahdi thrown straight in for their debuts; Fabio Vieira, meanwhile, began on the bench.
The visitors made two changes themselves to their starting XI that drew 0-0 at home to newly promoted Paderborn last weekend, with Kacper Potulski and Stefan Posch replacing Dominik Kohr and Danny Da Costa in defence.
Urs Fischer's side made the stronger start to the game, with a mistake from Jordan Torunarigha allowing Sheraldo Becker to force a good save from Daniel Heuer Fernandes within the first ten minutes. Moments later, Mainz worked a good opportunity from a corner for Amiri to strike at goal, though the German international sliced his effort wide.

Hamburger SV's lacklustre start to the new Bundesliga season continued this afternoon on home soil. In the Hanseatic sun, an FSV Mainz 05 side inspired by the brilliance of Sheraldo Becker and Phillip Tietz ran out comfortable winners on a 5-0 scoreline.
Similar to their opening day struggles in Dortmund, the hosts seemed to struggle as Mainz piled on the pressure. Sheraldo Becker stung the palms of Daniel Heuer Fernandes, before Nadiem Amiri fired wide on the end of a neat set-piece routine inside 15 minutes.
The warning signs were clear and HSV took no heed of it as an atmospheric Volksparkstadion fell momentarily silent. A misplaced pass from skipper Nicolai Remberg was picked off by Kaishu Sano. From there, he played in Becker who dispatched from a one-on-one scenario.
Aside from the occasional threat of Albert Grønbaek, HSV failed to even test debutante Alexander Schwolow before the break. Mainz swiftly led 2-0 when Nadiem Amiri pulled the strings in midfield for Becker to find **** e and deliver a routine tap-in for Philipp Mwene.
Half-time whistles from supporters forced Merlin Polzin's hand at the break. Torunarigha, Nadir and Adeline departed for Shafiq Nandja, Patson Daka and Fábio Vieira. The latter receiving a massive cheer since returning on a permanent basis from **** nal.

The 30-year-old forward, who has been with Borussia Dortmund for two years. is catching fire yet again, having bagged two goals in two games so far this season. On Tuesday, he could make his 100th competitive appearance for the Black & Yellow. 99 games in, he has an incredible 62 goals to his name, trailing only Erling Haaland and Lothar Emmerich.
Haaland scored a staggering total of 86 goals in 89 competitive matches for BVB. Emmerich found the net 64 times in his first 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund.
For his part, Guirassy has scored 40 times for Borussia in Bundesliga play. That's exactly on par with Norbert ***** el, although Guirassy only needed 65 games to reach that total while ***** el needed 90.
In the 3-2 away win at Hoffenheim, Guirassy played a part in six of Dortmund's eight shots. In the 61st minute, he scored to cut his team's deficit to 2-1. Then, five minutes later, he set up Fabio Silva for 2-2. Serhou Guirassy has scored a goal in each of his past five visits to Hoffenheim. (br)

Borussia Dortmund did it the hard way today in only their second match of the season. Away to Hoffenheim, the Black and Yellows went two goals behind, leaving it all to do with thirty minutes to play. Waldemar Anton took charge, sporting the captain's armband, blasting through the Hoffenheim defense at a lax moment to nick a loose ball and square it for Serhou Guirassy, who got the comeback started. BVB would find two further goals from Fabio Silva, and an own goal created by some intelligent interplay between Silva and Nwaneri.
The defense today was… not exactly sterling. The injury to Mane unsettled the back line, and despite some bright spots specifically from Gadou in progression, there were also some calamitous errors that gave Hoffenheim control of the momentum. Anton has been given the tricky task of leading a young, inexperienced back line. Gadou and Mane are talented, but they are both really in their first seasons of top flight football. Anton needs to keep them in check and handle his defensive duties as well. It's a lot of responsibity for BVB's stand-in captain. Anton's tenacity to win the ball high up the pitch got his team back into the game, and he deserves credit for his efforts across the pitch.
An additional note on Mane. I'm worried about this kid. Two hamstring injuries in only a few professional matches point to either a more serious issue, or insufficient preparation from the physio team. Mane has looked promising in the lead up to the season, but these injuries threaten to derail his career. BVB need to get their well-paid medical staff to figure out what's going on here.
Anyone seen the midfield? I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure if we blame Kovac here, blame the players, blame the system, but my goodness where is our central spine? Hoffenheim ran down the throat of the BVB defense for the entire first half because there seemed to be no cover in front of it. Maybe we will see more of Veerman in the weeks to come, but it's not like the dutchman is some deep-lying enforcer—he is a creator. If BVB are going to be fielding a juvenile back line for the next few weeks (they are), the midfield needs to provide some better cover.

Fabio Wardley has leapt to the defence of coach Ben Davison after teammate Moses Itauma failed in his bid to become the second-youngest ever world heavyweight champion on Saturday.
Itauma punched himself out after a dominant eight rounds against Filip Hrgovic at London's O2 Arena, appearing visibly exhausted against the Croatian in the ninth before his corner threw in the towel.
The 21-year-old had admitted pre-fight that he had never gone 12 rounds in sparring, which after the result ignited a torrent of backlash towards his gym as questions were raised about his preparations.
Wardley, who is also trained by Davison, lost his first fight to Daniel Dubois in similar fashion, gassing late on after dominating the early stages, and will now rematch "Dynamite" looking to regain his WBO ***** le on 17 October.
But when speaking about the criticism his trainer has received, Wardley dismissed the noise as "delusional" and said he is ready to prove the gym's worth by delivering greatness.

This week, the club and Trust installed a bench in Gunnersbury Park, the sixth to be added in the local area to encourage the community to pause, connect and talk.
Last season, some of our players took to the benches to share their own experiences of mental health, including Fábio Carvalho and former Bees player Jordan Henderson. The installation of benches was inspired by Brentford's longstanding commitment to supporting mental wellbeing and the work of consultant psychologist Michael Caulfield, whose bench at the Robert Rowan Performance Centre (RRPC) provides a safe, confidential ***** e for players, coaches and staff to speak.
On Saturday, ahead of our game against Sunderland, from 12.30pm the RRPC bench will be located outside Entrance B at Gtech Community Stadium so fans can make a personal commitment linked to mental wellbeing and supporting others.
Trained representatives from Brentford FC Community Sports Trust and the Samaritans will be on hand to speak with supporters and provide information about health and wellbeing programmes available in the local community.
This season, Talking is the Best Tactic is encouraging supporters to take small actions towards better mental health through simple conversations or small acts of support.

Fabio Capello gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport in which he discussed Roma, who, after two 4-0 wins against Fiorentina and Lecce, are now bidding to challenge Inter for the Scudetto.
The former Giallorossi coach was eloquent: "I would be very wary of Roma as Inter's main rival for the Scudetto. What I saw yesterday in Lecce is nothing more than confirmation of what I had highlighted."
"Roma have essentially returned to playing as they finished last season: they have shown they have no integration issues, they don't need to do anything different."
"Gasperini knows his players perfectly, and the players know the coach perfectly: they go onto the pitch and replicate what they did in the final stages of last season, when they came back to qualify for the Champions League."
Fabio Capello spoke about integrating players who arrived during the summer transfer window: "When you see everyone in a team running and fighting, those who join integrate quickly. It's not a team that needs to do something different or new, so that's the job. The others are already doing it well, so there's nothing extra."

JPMorgan remains constructive on equities heading towards the end of the year, although the bank expects further gains to be driven by shifts between market segments rather than a broad-based surge in stocks.
"In equities, we stay constructive into year-end, expecting a grind higher with rotation rather than a broad melt-up move," strategist Fabio Bassi wrote in a note to clients.
The bank pointed to the recovery in semiconductor stocks as evidence of a tactical improvement in risk appetite. With Federal Reserve patience helping to keep volatility contained, JPMorgan expects investor positioning and differences in performance across market segments to shape the next phase of the equity rally.
JPMorgan continues to favour Quality Growth stocks and hyperscalers, while also seeing opportunities in semiconductors following their recent repricing.
The bank said a Goldilocks environment, in which genuine disinflation allows the Fed to remain on hold, could create conditions for equity gains to broaden beyond current market leaders.

With the summer transfer window set to close within the next two days, some significant news for ****** nal has emerged on Sunday as the exits of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Fabio Vieira have all been reported. Jesus will be joining Barcelona, while Martinelli is set to become ****** nal's record transfer with a move to Saudi side Al Hilal. Vieira will return to Hamburg on a permanent move after a successful loan spell last season.
The Fabio Vieira move is one that has been in the making for the last few seasons. He came into the ****** nal side from Porto in the 2022 summer window as an under-the-radar move with a high ceiling. While he displayed his technical quality at times, he just never seemed to adapt to the more physical nature of the Premier League, and he was soon in the window shop for the Gunners. A loan back to Porto in 24/25 was followed by his spell with Hamburg in 25/26 where he shone for the Bundesliga side.
The one drawback of the Hamburg loan was that any fee for a permanent move was never going to majorly move the needle. Considering their record fee for an incoming player was €14m for Filip Kostic, the expectation was that they would not come close to meeting ****** nal's original valuation of €20m. After negotiations this week, the Gunners brought their asking price down and reached an agreement of €9m for the midfielder.
Gabriel Jesus' also saw his role in the side lessen over the past two seasons due in large part to injuries. His addition in the summer of 2022 after joining from Manchester City was a landmark one in the Mikel Arteta era. His arrival took ****** nal from a being simply a competitive side to one that consistent challenged for the ****** le. The first 6 months of his first season were sublime as he immediately elevated the attack with his exceptional ability to receive the ball in tight ****** es and link up with the front line.
Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury in the 2022 World Cup that began a series of ongoing issues he never seemed to overcome. The cycle that followed was as predictable as it was frustrating. After recovering from an injury, he would show flashes of his brilliance before encountering another setback. The signing of Viktor Gyökeres last summer was a major indicator that the club was preparing for him to take a more diminished role in the attack, and a move seemed inevitable.

Daniel Dubois will defend his WBO heavyweight world ****** le against former champion Fabio Wardley in a highly anticipated rematch on 17 October at London's O2 Arena.
Londoner Dubois, 28, dethroned Wardley with an 11th-round stoppage in a thrilling all-British showdown in Manchester in May to become a two-time world champion.
It was announced during Saturday's undercard of Moses Itauma's IBF heavyweight world ****** le fight with Filip Hrgovic, with Dubois and Wardley facing off in the ring.
Dubois said he is predicting a "dominant victory" before adding: "Let's get it on. It's just a war.
"When you get in the water, you're going to get wet. We will see. Give me some of that face-to-face - boy."

Just five months after a brutal 11-round heavyweight thriller between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, the British duo are set to run it back.

DAZN pay-per-view will stream the show.
Dubois was knocked down in Rounds 1 and 3 by Wardley in their first meeting, but he weathered the storm and dominated down the stretch for a TKO victory in the penultimate frame. The first Dubois vs. Wardley clash is generally considered the frontrunner for 2026's Fight of the Year.

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly reached an agreement with Fiorentina on personal terms.
The 25-year-old has been the odd man out in Michael Carrick's attacking department since the manager's appointment in January.
The English tactician sent a clear message to the player by keeping him on the bench against Hull City on the opening day of the Premier League, even with the team desperate for goals that never came.

Following the latest omission, Zirkzee has understood he's no longer wanted at United. Therefore, the versatile forward is now ready to entertain offers, as he risks spending another campaign as a benchwarmer.

Friday practice at MotorLand Aragon produced the closest top three ever recorded on a MotoGP Friday, with Marco Bezzecchi, Alex Marquez and Marc Marquez trading fastest laps in the final minutes of a session that saw the circuit lap record fall three separate times, according to MotoGP.
Marc Marquez had controlled the running from the outset, exactly the kind of dominance his record at Aragon suggests. He owns seven MotoGP wins at the venue, and for most of the session he sat comfortably ahead of ****** le rival Bezzecchi, with Fabio Di Giannantonio in third after recovering from an FP1 crash. That control held until the final quarter of an hour, however, when time-attack runs turned the timing screens red.
Fermin Aldeguer was the first to unseat the #93 , briefly taking P1 before Jorge Martin, Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta all fired in quick laps. Marc responded with a 1:45.493 to obliterate his own lap record. But the mark did not stand. Instead, Bezzecchi produced a 1:45.455 to ****** top spot from the home hero by just 0.038s, per MotoGP's timing.
Alex Marquez, on Gresini machinery, had been chasing throughout. He got within a few hundredths of the old record on his first attempt and was 0.273s off P1 heading into the closing minutes. His final effort was enough to leapfrog brother Marc but fell short of Bezzecchi and the top spot, leaving the two ****** le contenders separated by that slender margin at the head of the timesheets. As a result, the Marquez brothers were denied what would have been a perfect homecoming on a circuit that has long favored the family.

Serie A side Fiorentina are about to see Moise Kean part ways with them and join Como, where he will play in the Champions League. As they look to replace the Italian, Everton's Beto has emerged as a key option.
Get Italian Football News have looked at how they had stepped forward for Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee too. They were looking to work on a loan with an option to buy but things are now changing.
FirenzeViola report attention may have shifted towards Everton striker Beto, who has never quite established himself since joining from Udinese.
In fact, an offer has been submitted for the striker, with sporting director Fabio Paratici considering his options.
ViolaNews report that this doesn't mean the idea of signing Zirkzee from Manchester United has gone away. Fiorentina continue to discuss an initial loan deal and are happy to offer an option to buy as well.

Inter head into their second Serie A fixture of the 2026/27 season looking to build on their 4-1 victory over Monza at San Siro. Their first away trip of the campaign takes them to Sardinia on Sunday 30 August, where they will face Fabio Pisacane's Cagliari at the Unipol Domus, with kick-off at 20:45 CEST. Cagliari also began the season with a win, beating Parma 1-0 at the Tardini thanks to Alessandro Romano's spectacular late strike.
The two sides have met 90 times in Serie A, with Inter recording 47 wins, 29 draws and 14 defeats. In 45 meetings in Sardinia, the Nerazzurri have won 20, with seven Cagliari victories and 18 draws.
Inter have won nine of their last 10 Serie A meetings with Cagliari, with one draw. During that run, they have scored 26 goals, averaging 2.6 per game. Inter have also scored more Serie A goals against Cagliari than any other side, with 160, while only AC Milan have beaten the Rossoblù more often in the competition: 48 wins to Inter's 47, level with Juventus. The Nerazzurri have won six of their seven Serie A meetings with Cagliari played during the opening two matchdays, with one draw. The most recent came on 28 August 2023, when goals from Dumfries and Lautaro secured a 2-0 victory.
Inter have also won each of their last six Serie A away games against Cagliari, keeping a clean sheet in the last three. They have scored in 22 of their last 23 league visits to the Rossoblù, registering 47 goals in total — an average of 2.04 per game.
Both teams head to the Unipol Domus with three points after winning their opening fixtures. Cagliari recorded their first opening-day victory since 2013, while also extending their run to three consecutive wins dating back to the end of last season. Inter, meanwhile, have suffered just one defeat in their 23 Serie A matches played in 2026, remaining unbeaten in the other 22.

One of the most exciting players in the Juventus Next Gen team right now is Adin Licina, and he appears to be getting closer to breaking into Luciano Spalletti's first team. In recent times, players such as Kenan Yildiz and Fabio Miretti have progressed through the club's ranks and earned opportunities with the senior side, with more young players expected to follow.
Juventus have one of the best youth setups in Italian football, so the progression of young talents is not surprising. The Bianconeri have invested heavily in that area of the club, creating opportunities for promising players to develop and potentially reach the first team.
Licina and Yildiz are good friends, and both players arrived at Juventus after spells in the youth system of Bayern Munich. Licina has so far demonstrated that he could prove to be another impressive signing from the German club.
However, he could struggle to play regularly for Juventus' first team at this stage of his development, and Napoli are now showing interest in the midfielder. The Partenopei have been monitoring him closely since he moved to the Allianz Stadium this year and are working hard to convince him to join them.

Neymar became the center of attention on social media once again.
Over the past few days, Santos' No. 10 got into a war of words with 69-year-old journalist Fábio Sormani.
The argument has already involved criticism, insults, and has also "gifted" us with jokes about the whole situation.
The story began with a comment after Santos' draw against Mirassol last Sunday (23).
The journalist said Neymar can't dribble past anyone anymore, not even Sormani himself.

Juventus are continuing to trim fat, but it's still not enough to finally table their offer for Frank Kessié, and Roma have entered the race, joining Al-Ittihad and other Saudi sides that would cover him in gold to keep him in their league, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
After releasing Arthur Melo, the Bianconeri will bid farewell to Fabio Miretti. He'll move to Besiktas, like Dusan Vlahovic, on a loan with a conditional obligation to buy. The Old Lady also completed Michele Di Gregorio's exit and Kamil Grabara's arrival, with a temporary formula with a €12M acquisition clause. Instead, Mattia Perin transferred to Palermo on a €500k move.
On the other hand, the recent departures don't suffice yet for Juventus to really step up their Kessié pursuit. They have to find a solution for the burdensome Teun Koopmeiners, Jonathan David, and Nicolas Gonzalez. Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik are also on the chopping block.
In the meantime, Roma have shown some interest in the Ivorian powerhouse, who broke out under Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta. They have skirted the Manchester United threat for Manu Koné, as the Red Devils completed their midfield with Carlos Baleba. Other sides could be keen on him, but Neil El Aynaoui is a more precarious spot now.
They shouldn't waste any more time and should sign him in after managing to have a hold on him for so long, and worry about the departures later. Koopmeiners is the main Gordian knot, but there may also be issues with his personal terms. It's been a while since the capital club signed a veteran with bloated wages, even though Gasperini surely wouldn't mind.
