Favre admits Gotze does not suit Dortmund system as Brandt earns huge praise

Borussia Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre has cast further doubt on the future of Mario Gotze by admitting he does not suit the team's current system.

The midfielder confirmed in April that he was planning to leave BVB at the end of the season as he sought a new direction for his career, although CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke later suggested Gotze could decide to sign a new contract.

The 27-year-old has started just five Bundesliga matches this season and only came on in the 87th minute in last week's 4-0 derby win over Schalke, Dortmund's first match since the competition restarted after weeks of suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.
