Borussia Dortmund are set to travel to Japan without goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and sporting director Ole Book. According to Sky Sports, both men will be missing from the club’s traveling party, although they are said to be absent for different reasons.
The report highlights two separate situations around Dortmund’s trip, with one involving a player and the other a senior official. No further detail is provided in the available summary about the exact reasons behind either absence, but the pair’s omission has become a talking point ahead of the overseas leg of preseason.
Dortmund’s preparations for the new campaign have already drawn attention after a defeat to Fortuna Düsseldorf. That result added to the focus on the team’s preseason work, and news about changes to the traveling group is likely to be closely watched as the club continues its summer schedule.
For now, the key update is that Ramaj and Book will not be on the flight to Japan. Any fuller explanation is expected to come once more information emerges from Dortmund or from follow-up reporting around the trip.
