Borussia Dortmund's Niklas Süle (29) sidelined
Borussia Dortmund are already facing an injury crisis heading into the 2025/26 season which starts against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 18. After replacing Mats Hummels in the 17th minute in his farewell match before taking retirement, Niklas Süle was substituted shortly before half time against Juventus. As reported by Ruhr Nachrichten, Süle is facing several weeks of absence after sustaining a calf injury. The 29-year-old missed 18 games across all competitions for die Schwarzgelben with various injuries, and is again facing time out. Süle's absence could force BVB into the transfer market. Defensive injuries for Borussia Dortmund Not only is Süle sidelined, but Nico Schlotterbeck has been absent since April following a meniscus tear – although the 25-year-old is aiming for a return in October. Emre Can is also sidelined with an adductor tear leaving Waldemar Anton and Filippo Mane as the first team's central-defenders, although the latter is yet to make his Bundesliga debut.

Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck aims for October comeback
After nearly four months of self-imposed exile, Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck has publicly commented on his comeback from injury. The 25-year-old addressed supporters in a statement released on the BVB website. Schlotterbeck aims to be back playing Bundesliga football in two months. 'My goal remains to be fit again by October,' Schlotterbeck noted in his statement. 'The rehab work continues to go according to plan. I'm working every day on my comeback and look forward to being back on the pitch with my teammates in the most beautiful stadium in the world.' Schlotterbeck's meniscus tear – incurred in early April 2025 – came at a most unfortunate time. Schlotterbeck registered two assists as a corner taker in his final competitive fixture, a 3-1 home win over Mainz on matchday 27. Schlotterbeck also did extremely well for the German national team in two appearances for Juluan Nagelsmann's Nationalmannschaft during the March international break. The October return renders it unlikely that he'll have a chance to appear under Nagelsmann again in the current 2025 calendar year. GGFN |

📸 Rehab pays off: Schlotterbeck undergoes the Goretzka transformation
Since early April, Nico Schlotterbeck has had to take a break due to a knee injury. However, the BVB defender has apparently used his rehab, after his meniscus tear, not only for the recovery of his leg. On his Instagram account, the German national player shared a picture of his impressive upper arm. This reminds us of Leon Goretzka, who became a muscle man during the Corona pandemic. You can find an upper arm, but it's definitely a massive one! 📸 MIGUEL A. LOPES Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
