Ruled out for next two matches
Karetsas (foot) has been diagnosed with a ligament injury and will miss Tuesday's Champions League clash against Sabah and Saturday's Bundesliga fixture against Frankfurt, according to the club.
Analysis: Karetsas sustained the injury during Saturday's 0-0 draw against Union Berlin following a challenge with Rani Khedira, forcing him off shortly after entering the match. The 18-year-old was subsequently spotted on crutches, raising concerns about the severity of the injury, with further examinations now confirming ligament damage in his foot. He has been ruled out of Dortmund's next two fixtures, although the club has yet to establish a definitive recovery timeline. His availability beyond Saturday remains uncertain, with a potentially longer absence still possible depending on his rehabilitation progress.
Facing potential lengthy absence
Karetsas (ankle) could be sidelined for several weeks after being spotted on crutches following Saturday's 0-0 draw against Union Berlin, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.
Analysis: Karetsas suffered the injury during a challenge with Rani Khedira just eight minutes after entering Saturday's match against Union Berlin, forcing him to leave the pitch shortly afterward. The 18-year-old was subsequently seen using crutches upon Dortmund's return from Berlin, raising concerns about a potentially significant ankle injury. The midfielder is scheduled to undergo further examinations Sunday to determine the severity of his left ankle injury. An absence lasting until at least the November international break is reportedly possible, although the exact recovery timeline remains uncertain. The setback represents another interruption for the young attacking midfielder, who has struggled to regain his previous momentum following a medical incident during the Champions League clash against Villarreal.
