Borussia Dortmund’s head coach Marco Rose initially gave his protégé Jude Bellingham the all-clear.
The Englishman got stuck after a collision during BVB’s victory on Wednesday evening (1-0) in Mainz and was then examined by a doctor on the head.
“He was in the cabin with the doctor, suddenly he was standing next to me again. Of course we are responsible. I asked the doc again if everything had been checked. We said that we would watch him for a minute or two behaves,” said Rose, who actually wanted to change.
The 18-year-old midfielder then completed the 90 minutes and then celebrated with team-mate Erling Haaland in front of the guest curve. “It’s just a Jew. He’ll just come back,” said Rose admiringly. Axel Witsel scored the winning goal for the Bundesliga second in the 87th minute.
