Hummels nets a double as Dortmund rests Haaland
Borussia Dortmund climbed to second in the Bundesliga, despite resting striker Erling Braut Haaland, as defender Mats Hummels scored both goals in a 2-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld.
Hummels picked up a late thigh injury while making a tackle, but his work was done before then with a fortuitous volley from a corner and a thumping header in the second half.
Despite the injury, Dortmund forward Julian Brandt backed Hummels to be fit for the UEFA Champions League match at Club Brugge on Thursday (AEDT), saying: "He'll make it – he heals quick."
Dortmund took the lead when England winger Jadon Sancho curled in a corner which bounced off Hummels and rolled over the line on 53 minutes.
Hummels grabbed his second with a header from a Marco Reus cross 19 minutes from time.
