BVB worry over Ryerson: Norway boss gives injury update | OneFootball

After Nico Schlotterbeck, the next BVB professional has been hit. Julian Ryerson is leaving the Norway camp early due to rib problems.

The international break is increasingly turning into a real test for Borussia Dortmund. After Nico Schlotterbeck was already dealing with an injury, there are now also concerns about Julian Ryerson. The Norwegian full-back has ended his trip with the national team early and is returning to Dortmund. The reason is ongoing discomfort in his ribs.

What happens next for the 28-year-old now depends on the examinations at BVB. So far, it is not known how serious Ryerson’s injury is or whether he will need a longer break. That also means there is currently a question mark over his involvement in the upcoming Bundesliga clash with Werder Bremen on October 9.

The problems had already made themselves felt during Norway’s international matches. Ryerson had previously complained of pain in the rib area. Even so, there was initially hope that he would be able to play without major limitations. In training ahead of the match against Wales, the Dortmund man had apparently still come through a fitness test well.

However, the setback came during the match. National team coach Ståle Solbakken then described the situation: “He did a test in training yesterday and had no problems, but he took a knock or made a twisting movement, which made the pain too severe.” Ryerson was then unable to continue. His appearance ended after only around 16 minutes.

The full-back will also no longer be available for Norway’s final match against Portugal. Instead of staying with the national team, he is now set to undergo further examination and treatment in Dortmund. For coach Niko Kovac, an absence for the Norwegian would be particularly frustrating. Ryerson is a regular starter for BVB and is also highly versatile. The Norwegian can play in both full-back positions, giving his coach several tactical options.

Dortmund will now be hoping above all that the rib problem does not prove to be too serious. After Schlotterbeck’s injury, another personnel setback immediately after the international break would be the next piece of bad news for BVB.
