Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha sidelined | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Felix Nmecha will be out for several weeks after suffering a lateral collateral ligament injury in his knee during their 3-2 comeback win against Hamburg.

As a result, Nmecha will not be available for Germany’s upcoming fixtures against Switzerland (27 March) and Ghana (30 March). It’s not yet known whom Julian Nagelsmann will call upon to replace the 25-year-old.

Felix Nmecha’s season so far

The Dortmund midfielder has featured in every Bundesliga game so far, establishing himself as a key player for Niko Kovač which resulted in Nmecha being awarded a new long-term contract until June 2030.

Julian Brandt, who will leave BVB when his contract expires at the end of the season, replaced Nmecha in stoppage time against Hamburg.

What about the German national team?

Nmecha’s injury leaves Nagelsmann short in midfield. Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic has reportedly had to withdraw from the upcoming fixtures, joining Leon Goretzka and Nmecha on the sidelines – although not official, VfB Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller is set to replace Pavlovic.
