    • Not sure Dortmund is done, could signal someone else is leaving, there has been a lot of interest in Aubameyang. If one of the older players like Sahin, Castro, or Ramos move on shouldn’t be much difference in time for CP. If everyone stays minutes may get tougher. This would certainly seem to limit chances of Gyau returning to the first team once he’s fully healthy.
