Now they will be together in Group D with Austrian Walter Wels who is the last placed 16th seed.

The ten times European champion Borussia Dusseldorf had last three bad seasons after three titles in a row (2009-11). Several injuries affected the unstoppable line-up Timo BOLL Christian SUSS Patrick BAUM. Everything went wrong when SUSS received one hard injury and same problem in last two seasons had Timo BOLL. The team surprisingly lost all four group stage games in 2013/14 edition.

I hope that we can finally avoid injuries and in good shape reached quarter finals” stressed Borussia`s manager Andreas PREUSS after the draw which is held in Vienna.
