Dortmund's Schlotterbeck set to miss six months after meniscus tear
Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck celebrates his side's third goal during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Dortmund and FSV Mainz 05 at Signal Iduna Park. Schlotterbeck has suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee and will be out for the remainder of the Bundesliga season, the club announced on Monday. Bernd Thissen/dpa Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck faces around six months of rehabilitation after suffering a meniscus tear in his left knee. Dortmund announced the season-ending injury, which according to dpa sources happened in training, on Monday, and the 25-year-old posted an emotional statement on Instagram on Tuesday. Advertisement "Unfortunately I have to tell you that my rehabilitation will take several months," Schlotterbeck said. "It will be a long and challenging journey, but I am absolutely determined to do everything to be fully fit again." Schlotterbeck added he would withdraw from the public eye during the rehabilitation process, "because I need to for myself and my head." Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl confirmed the defender had already undergone surgery. "It all happened very quickly. Nico was operated on Monday evening and will be missing for several months. About half a year is the current prognosis," he told reporters as the team flew out to Barcelona for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg. Advertisement His absence is a big blow for club and country and it seems he will also miss a chunk of the start of next season. This term, Dortmund are eighth in the Bundesliga and chasing a European berth, while they are looking to reach the Champions League final for the second straight year. They will also play at the Club World Cup in June and July and Schlotterbeck will miss it all. He will also be unavailable during a big June for Germany. They have qualified for the Nations League Final Four tournament for the first time, and as hosts will play Portugal in the semi-finals on June 4, and then the final or match for third place four days later. Advertisement Schlotterbeck was one of the best players when Germany beat Italy in the quarter-finals last month. His injury was the latest bad news for coach Julian Nagelsmann, after Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala suffered a hamstring tear last week, and it remains open whether Musiala will be fit again by June. "Nico's absence is extremely painful. He is enormously valuable both at the club and for us in the national team - on and off the pitch," Nagelsmann said. "We wish Nico a good and speedy recovery, he can rely on our support on his way back!"

Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck to miss rest of the season with torn meniscus injury
Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck will miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury. The 25-year-old, who missed his side's 4-1 victory over Freiburg on Saturday, has torn the meniscus in his left knee, the club have confirmed. The injury will see the Germany international miss the rest of the season, and the news comes just days before their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona in Spain on Wednesday. Advertisement Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said on Schlotterbeck's injury: 'Nico's absence hits us very hard. He is a very important part of our team and has impressed with his consistently good performances this season. 'We hope he will get fit again quickly and will receive maximum support from us on his way back.' ℹ️ Tough news to close out the season: Nico Schlotterbeck has sustained a meniscus tear in his left knee and will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. — Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) April 7, 2025 Schlotterbeck, who has made 20 appearances for Germany, has made 37 appearances in all competitions this campaign for Dortmund. Dortmund are eighth in the Bundesliga, five points off a Champions League qualification spot. Analysis by The Athletic's Bundesliga reporter Sebastian Stafford-Bloor So, so tough on Dortmund, who had just built a bit of momentum with that thumping 4-1 win over Freiburg at the weekend. Schlotterbeck is not only key to how they defend without the ball, he is also an important component in moving possession forward. He is Niko Kovac's most technical centre-back and both an excellent passer and a reliable carrier; he's a press-resistant player in a squad with very few. It makes Wednesday's tie against Barcelona look even more onerous than it already was — if that's even possible — and will demand a re-think. Ramy Bensebaini played on the left of Kovac's back-three at the weekend, outside Waldemar Anton and Emre Can, and presumably that trio will now have to go again in Catalonia, with no other senior centre-backs fit enough to start. Beyond this week, it's bad news for the rest of the season. Dortmund had just closed the gap on the top four and given themselves an outside chance of sneaking back into the Champions League next year. Advertisement Can they still do it? Sure, but they have been short on defensive confidence and cohesion for some time, and Kovac, who prefers continuity in selection, will know have to forge some resilience without his most important element. This might change Schlotterbeck's summer, too. The odds are still on a contract renewal, but he was commanding interest from the Premier League and Ligue1, which — given the long recovery time associated with this kind of injury — will probably now be on the back-burner.
