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.
Still in recovery process
Kaba is not yet ready to join the team in preseason while he recovers from an injury, the club announced Saturday.
Analysis: Kaba is a youth option projected to see little participation in future competitions, so this issue mostly impacts the team's midfield depth behind Felix Nmecha, Jobe Bellingham and Marcel Sabitzer. While he's expected to return at some point of the season, Kaba should be expected to feature as a substitute as soon as he's completely fit.
