BERLIN, Oct 17 (Reuters) - ⁠Borussia Dortmund stumbled to a goalless ⁠draw at Union Berlin on Saturday, ‌with striker Konstantinos Karetsas suffering an injury on his comeback, but the point put them provisionally top ​of theBundesliga table.

The Ruhr valley ⁠club, who lost ⁠1-0 in the Champions League at Bodo/Glimt ⁠on Wednesday ‌and have now failed to win any of their last ⁠three matches across all competitions, lacked spark ​in ‌the first half, before upping their level ⁠after the ​break.

They then saw Karetsas, who had come on in the 62nd minute, go off ⁠with an ankle injury just ​eight minutes later. He had come back after collapsing in September due to what the ⁠club said were 'circulatory problems'.

The visitors had to settle for a second consecutive league draw that lifted them to top spot ​on 14 points.

Freiburg, on ⁠13, are in action against Bayer Leverkusen ​on Sunday. Champions Bayern Munich, ‌third on 11, take ​on RB Leipziglater on Saturday.
