Ole Book gives injury update on Borussia Dortmund trio | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Book says there is still no return date for captain Emre Can or defender Nico Schlotterbeck, with more encouraging news on Carney Chukwuemeka.

According to BuLi News, Book spoke during a Thursday media session as BVB’s pre-season continues.

Can has been sidelined since March with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and Schlotterbeck sustained a medial ankle ligament injury at the World Cup. Book confirmed there is currently no timetable for either player.

He said predictions are extremely difficult even for experienced doctors and rehabilitation staff, and that both players are working hard daily in rehab. He added they remain significant leaders within the squad.

Chukwuemeka picked up a knock in last week’s 1-0 friendly win over FC Tokyo. Book said he is not overly concerned, noting the issue arose from a landing on his knee and had not been a prior problem.
