Sporting Covilha Overview

Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac says that Mathis Albert is set to play more minutes for the club after recently returning from his first U.S. men's national team call-up. Kovac's revelation about Albert comes amid outside interest, including a summer offer from Manchester City, sources tell GOAL.
