Dortmund Captain Kehl back in training
Sebastian Kehl has made his return to the training ground after months of abdominal injury troubles. The Captain for Dortmund held an individual training session with coaching staff and the results were positive. Juergen Klopp, "Everything is forward from here."

Kehl has been out since the beginning of the season, and training staff would prefer to take his recovery slow.
Hajnal bags a goal as his return to first team nears
Tamas Hajnal marked his return to action with a goal in BVBII's test match against Rote-Weiss Ahlen. Hajnal, who was sidelined by a torn ligament, netted after he met a cross from left back Dede. Hajnal may play some part in the upcoming match versus Stuttgart(31st Jan).
BVBII went on to a 5-0 victory, showing some fine form for their 3.Liga return against Werder Bremen II on Saturday.
Damien Le Tallec continued his fine goal scoring with a goal on the 65th minute assisted by Julian Koch. This adds to the double he scored against Young Boys Bern.
BVB: Höttecke (46. Focher) - Koch, Hünemeier, Neumeister (46. Sobiech), Dede (63. Treude) - Nottbeck (46. M. Großkreutz), Piossek (46. Hille), Hajnal (63. Boztepe), Tyrala (70. Alecsandrov), Oscislawski (46. Evers) - Kullmann (46. Le Tallec).
Goals: 1:0 Hajnal (35.), 2:0 Koch (60.), 3:0 Le Tallec (65.), 4:0, Boztepe (87.), 5:0 Boztepe (90.).
Le Tallec, Hajnal, and Tinga close to return!
Dortmund may soon have a little relief on the injury front. Striker Damien Le Tallec is once again fit and is playing for the Amateur team in Spain in their yearly training camp. The Frenchman netted two goals in his first game back from injury for the Amateurs, after dislocating his shoulder in a DFB Pokal match last Fall. Le Tallec will soon be back to full fitness and is expected to offer relief to the injury stricken starting eleven.
Tinga is on the mend as well. The midfielder has made the trip to Spain to train with the Amateurs and improve his fitness. Tinga is expected back within the next few weeks. This should give Klopp more options in the defensive midfield role if Bender were to suffer an injury.
Tamas Hajnal is perhaps the most surprising of the three. The Hungarian midfielder may perhaps make a surprise return to the team for the game against HSV. Hajnal has been training with the first team and appears to be fit enough to be in the squad for Saturdays clash with HSV. Hajnal suffered a torn ligament and was ruled out for most of the first half of the season.
