The officials of Borussia Dortmund have not yet officially commented on the current reports surrounding the personnel issue of Fabio Silva. However, it is certain that the new signing, who apparently operated for a long time without the knowledge of BVB in the summer, will not be seen in the black and yellow jersey in the short term.
After initially the "Sport Bild" reported that BVB only became aware during the medical check on August 28 that Silva had been operated on due to an adductor injury existing since April, the "Ruhr Nachrichten" now also confirm this process. However, they also confirm that BVB had no doubts about signing the Portuguese, who was ultimately equipped with a five-year contract.
When Silva can first play for BVB is not yet clear. According to the "Ruhr Nachrichten", the debut of the 23-year-old could still be a long time coming. According to the paper, it is possible that Silva will celebrate his premiere for Borussia only in mid-October and thus after the second international break of the season.
Even though there is great hope in Dortmund that Silva, like Serhou Guirassy, who also came injured from VfB Stuttgart a good year ago, will develop well after a somewhat later start, the approach to this transfer is likely to be worked through internally. In particular, the fact that there was no personal meeting with the player and his agent before the sports medical examination and instead communication was exclusively by telephone or video conferences, is likely to be the subject of an internal analysis.
