Borussia Dortmund will allow Julian Weigl to leave the club on loan in January as the midfielder goes in search of regular game time.
The 23-year-old has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Lucien Favre's side this season, with the former OGC Nice boss preferring the summer arrivals of Axel Witsel and Thomas Delaney at the heart of his midfield.
As a result, German publication Bild are reporting that Weigl will be free to go out on loan when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year to give the midfielder the regular match action that his season has lacked so far.
