Next hard blow for Borussia Dortmund: The second in the table has to do without Nico Schlotterbeck in the Bundesliga title fight for an indefinite period.
According to a BVB announcement from Monday (April 3rd, 2023), the central defender suffered a torn muscle fiber involving a tendon in his left thigh. Schlotterbeck was replaced in the top game at Bayern Munich (2: 4) on Saturday evening in the 44th minute. He was replaced by Mats Hummels.
He had already had muscular problems from the German national team’s international match against Peru (2-0). Schlotterbeck had left before the second game against Belgium (2:3).
