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.

Arsenal have several top defenders in their squad, but they are not satisfied and want more quality in that area, which has led to a reported interest in Borussia Dortmund left-back Daniel Svensson.
The Swede is regarded as one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga and is being monitored by several top teams, including AC Milan and Juventus. The Gunners are also interested in bringing him to the Emirates, despite already having several options available in his position.
The left back position is not an area where **** nal currently struggle, with Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié both capable of playing there. Myles Lewis Skelly can also operate in the position, giving the Gunners several options within their squad.
However, **** nal have shown over the last few seasons that they are a team determined to improve constantly. The Gunners believe Svensson could bring new qualities to the position and potentially provide another option as they continue to strengthen their squad.

Juventus have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund full-back Daniel Svensson, as the Swede continues to impress at the German club and could be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.
Juve had a busy summer transfer window, but in the final days, they were keen to sign a new left back and hoped they could push Juan Cabal out of the squad, as he was wanted by Atalanta. However, that move never happened because Cabal's transfer did not go through.
Despite Cabal remaining at Juve, the Bianconeri continue to keep an eye on potential options for the position. Svensson has now emerged as one of the players attracting their attention, with his performances for Borussia Dortmund making him an appealing target.
The Swede has continued to shine at BVB, and his form has understandably attracted interest from other clubs. Juventus are now considering whether he could be the right player to strengthen their options at left back, although any potential deal would require a significant financial commitment.

Manchester United's priority during the final days of the summer transfer window was to bring in a left-back.
Their primary target was Lewis Hall of Newcastle United, but the Magpies refused to consider his sale and are now close to reaching an agreement with him over a contract renewal, making it difficult for United to revisit their interest.
However, United's recruitment team have reportedly started to explore other options before the next window opens.
According to Fussballdaten, Borussia Dortmund left-back Daniel Svensson is starting to attract the interest of Europe's biggest clubs.

Borussia Dortmund held to a 2-2 draw at home against AS Roma on Saturday. All four goals were scored inside the first half-hour as Niko Kovac's side came from a two-goal deficit to avoid defeat in front of home fans at Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion).
Paulo Dybala put the visitors ahead before **** isting Bryan Cristante's goal from a corner-kick delivery in the 9th minute. On his first appearance back from an injury he suffered at the World Cup, Julian Ryerson did the same in the next 20 minutes.
The Norwegian scored from close range after fellow World Cup participant Daniel Svensson's cutback in the 12th minute. Serhou Guirassy equalized for Dortmund from Ryerson's typical set-piece delivery.
The hosts had the best chances for the rest of the game, but they were unable to find a winning goal. Konstantinos Karetsas, Joane Gadou, Justin Lerma, Kauã Prates and Takato Yamamoto all made their home debuts as Dortmund introduced the new players to the fans before kickoff.
While FC Bayern will play against Heidenheim in midweek, Dortmund's next game will be against the Rekordmeister in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

In their first match of the knockout stage against Paraguay, the German national team found themselves 0-1 down in the 42nd minute. Shortly before half-time, Felix Nmecha, who had started the match, missed a golden opportunity to equalise when he found himself unmarked. His deflected shot went wide of the left-hand post. It was the Borussia Dortmund player's last involvement in the match; he was substituted after the break.
Although Germany managed to equalise in the 54th minute, no further goals were scored in normal time, so the match went into extra time. In the 102nd minute, Germany took what appeared to be a 2-1 lead, but the referees ruled that Waldemar Anton had fouled the goalkeeper beforehand, so the goal was disallowed. The Borussia player had come on as a substitute in the 79th minute. Anton missed the chance to score the winner shortly before the end of extra time as his header from five yards out went straight at the opposition goalkeeper (119).
In the penalty shoot-out, Germany lost 3-4 after missing three penalties, meaning the tournament is over for the team. Maxi Beier remained on the bench for the entire match, while Nico Schlotterbeck was sidelined through injury.
This Tuesday evening, Julian Ryerson and Norway face the Ivory Coast, while Daniel Svensson plays for Sweden against France.

Mattias Svanberg capped off Sweden’s comfortable win over Tunisia in his World Cup debut. Wolfsburg’s midfielder scored seconds after coming on as a substitute in a 5-1 victory for Graham Potter’s side. Holstein Kiel’s Alexander Bernhardsson also played his part until Borussia Dortmund’s Daniel Svensson replaced him in injury-time.
At the other end, Ellyes Skhiri, Rani Khedira, and Elias Saad started for Tunisia. Eintracht Frankfurt’s midfielder captained the side, while the German-born Khedira made his competitive debut. Saad’s Augsburg teammate Ismaël Gharbi played the final ten minutes for the Eagles of Carthage.
Sweden opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a memorable goal for Yasin Ayari. Brighton’s midfielder decided to play for his home country after his Tunisian father encouraged him to do so. Similar to the incident in the last World Cup when Switzerland’s Breel Embolo scored against his home country Cameroon, Ayari didn’t celebrate his stunning goal.
Graham Potter’s side doubled their lead in the half-hour mark with Alexander Isak’s first goal in a major tournament. The former Borussia Dortmund striker linked up well with Viktor Gyökeres with a perfect counterattack move.
Tunisia reduced the deficit before the break when Hertha BSC’s academy product Omar Rekik headed home Hannibal Mejbri’s delivery. Isak returned the favor to Gyökeres as Skhiri dispossessed for Sweden’s third goal in the hour mark. The former St. Pauli loanee was instrumental in their qualification with a hat-trick against Poland in the playoff final.

A mental lapse may cost a PGA Tour winner a spot in the U.S. Open.
On a wild day of U.S. Open final qualifying, the wildest moment occurred in Ontario to conclude an eight-for-three playoff. Down to three players vying for one spot, Max McGreevy made birdie to punch his ticket to Shinnecock, but Matt Wallace and Adam Svensson still needed to settle who would be first alternate from the site.

Svensson ended that quickly, however, when, not realizing the full situation, he picked up his ball marker instead of putting for par. With Wallace already in with par, that gave Wallace the top alternate spot—and likely means the Englishman will wind up at Shinnecock.
"This is a big deal, it's a really big deal," Golf Channel's Brandon de Jonge said. "There's a good opportunity that Matt Wallace is going to play. Often we see the first alternate get in, it's a big mistake made there by Adam Svensson and, unfortunately, at the end of a long day, you can make these type of mental errors."

No fewer than four Borussia players are in the German national team line-up: Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier, Nico Schlotterbeck and Felix Nmecha will be competing in Group E. Ramy Bensebaini represents Algeria in Group J, while Carney Chukwuemeka and Marcel Sabitzer are also competing for Austria in Group J. This will see the first-ever Borussia derby in the tournament. Gregor Kobel is between the posts for Switzerland (Group B), Julian Ryerson leads Norway onto the pitch in Group I, and Daniel Svensson kicks off the tournament with Sweden in Group F.
