He won the championship, the DFB Cup and the Supercup with BVB. Now Marcel Schmelzer is breaking up. The reason for this is his physical health.
Former national soccer player Marcel Schmelzer will end his career after the season. The left-back from Borussia Dortmund announced this in a video on Instagram on Thursday. The 34-year-old has won two German championships and three cups with BVB since 2008.
“Unfortunately, injuries have repeatedly thrown me back in the last two years,” said Schmelzer, who played 367 competitive games for Borussia: “In this context, I would like to thank BVB for allowing me to complete my rehabilitation here again. I don’t know yet what’s to come, but I’m looking forward to the challenges.”
