Have a look at the height and weight of Niklas Sule
Images of the overweight Borussia Dortmund defender have raised questions about his fitness. Poor eating habits have been recognized as Sule has battled for playing time this season.
As Borussia Dortmund gears up to face Real Madrid in the eagerly awaited Champions League final on June 1, all eyes will be on defender Niklas Sule’s fitness. After seeing some of his training photos ahead of the UCL final, fans have questioned if the German international is in good enough physical shape to play at the highest level.
Despite some of his stellar performances in the past, Sule has found it difficult to get some playing time this year as Mats Hummels has established himself as a vital player for Edin Terzic’s defence.

Sule’s weight and eating habits have drawn criticism from previous managers. According to Goal, German boss Markus Babbel once revealed that the Dortmund defender used to eat “six pizzas and eight kebabs” weekly. He even once revealed categorically that a person could not play football if they weighed more than 100 kg.
Sule has admitted that he was “overdoing it on junk food” while at Bayern Munich, proving that the criticisms are legitimate. FoxSports claims that this even caused him to be infrequently left out of consideration for the German national team, with experts speculating that his weight was the real cause.
