Manuel Akanji admits that Borussia Dortmund need to turn their form around quickly if they want to succeed this season.

Die Schwarzgelben are still top of the Bundesliga, but have suffered a dip after drawing against Hoffenheim and losing to Tottenham.

However, the side remain in a promising position and Akanji has called on his team-mates to assert themselves again.

“You’re right, it’s not the same mood as in the first round,” he told the club’s official magazine.

“We have to improve on the things we did badly against Nürnberg. Hopefully we can win again and regain our confidence.

“This victory will be much needed after our disappointing Champions League defeat on Wednesday.

On a more positive note, the club have welcomed back Julian Weigl and Paco Alcácer to full training.
