After a promising start to the season, Dortmund struggled big time 
over the past months. After eight winless games, they reassured their 
fans by eliminating Glasgow Rangers in the UEFA CUP and humiliating 
Hertha Berlin 4-0 shortly before Christmas...Many companies stopped 
selling Dortmund jerseys at the beginning of January, suspecting 
them to contain health-damaging substances. After negative tests, 
the jerseys were sold again... No transfers have been made during the 
winter break... Dortmund does not appear to be in top form just yet,
as blowout losses (1-3 vs. Schalke; 0-4 vs. Leverkusen) at the Gazi-Cup 
in Turkey indicate. Coach Skibbe was not pleased with the performances
and said the team had a lot of work to do before the opener against
Kaiserslautern... Injuries continue to hurt Borussia, especially on 
offense. Team leader Andreas Moeller will miss the next four weeks 
with a leg injury and Giuseppe Reina is plagued by a sore foot and 
listed as doubtful. Nigerians Otto Addo and Victor Ikpeba are still 
playing in the African Nations Cup, leaving Ibrahim Tanko and Heiko 
Herrlich as the likely starting forwards.
