Plays 45 minutes in reserve
Kaba played 45 minutes in a 3-2 win over SV Rodinghausen in Regionalliga West, confirming he is back fit moving forward.
Analysis: Kaba had previously been dealing with load related setbacks that limited him to just eight appearances across all competitions last season, with Dortmund taking a deliberately cautious approach to reintegrating the 17 year old. This appearance now marks a meaningful step in his return, and his continued progress will be tracked as he works toward eventually rejoining the first team.
Full return targeted for fall
Kaba (undisclosed) is not expected to fully rejoin Dortmund's first team until around October, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.
Analysis: Kaba will first be partially integrated into U23 training in the coming weeks before eventually working back with the first team, though the club is taking a deliberately slow approach with the 17-year-old. He's currently working individually following performance testing, and Dortmund is prioritizing long term physical stability after he struggled with load related setbacks last season, some tied to growth spurts, limiting him to just eight appearances across all competitions. Kaba is expected to continue his gradual reintegration as the club manages his return with caution.
