For the rest of the club World Cup, BVB had recently extended the loan contract with Carney Chukwuemeka. But the Englishman suddenly fails.
Borussia Dortmund has to do without Carney Chukwuemeka in the round of 16 of the club World Cup-even though the club had extended the loan contract with Chelsea FC. The midfielder did not travel to Atlanta due to a cold. There, BVB will meet CF Monterrey from Mexico on Wednesday morning (3 a.m. German time).
BVB coach Niko Kovač explained on Monday evening (local time): “Of course this is very annoying. For us, he has already proven for us which impact he can have when it is substituted.”
The original loan agreement would have expired on June 30th. In order to be able to use Chukwuemeka in the knockout phase, sports director Sebastian Kehl with Chelsea had agreed to extend the cooperation.
On the other hand, there was good news from Julian Brandt. The offensive player does not have to undergo any surgery after his broken rabbing in the left wrist. Kovač said: “The investigation was positive. Nothing has been shifted.” Brandt suffered the injury in the first group game against Fluminense (0-0). He now has to play with a rail.
