Still building fitness
Nmecha is not yet back to full fitness and is expected to continue having his workload managed, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr24. "Felix is certainly not yet where he can and will be."
Analysis: Nmecha was withdrawn after 55 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 win over Hoffenheim, continuing a pattern of roughly 45 to 70 minutes across his last three appearances. Manager Niko Kovac explained that his unusual preseason following World Cup participation has left him short of his desired physical level, so regular 90-minute outings are unlikely for now. Despite the managed workload, Nmecha remains an important part of Dortmund's midfield and should continue to receive consistent minutes as his conditioning improves.
Quiet in World Cup exit
Nmecha registered one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay.
Analysis: Nmecha had a rough match to start Monday, as he would be taken off at halftime after only a cross, one tackle won and nine passes in 45 minutes of play. This is an unfortunate way to end for the midfielder, as he did have a decent tournament up until the Paraguay match. That said, he ends the tournament with one goal on eight shots (three on target) and one assist on two chances created to go along with 13 tackles (three won).
