After broken nose: this BVB star will now wear a mask | OneFootball

After suffering a broken nose while on duty with the U19 national team, Borussia Dortmund have been given the all-clear. Luca Reggiani can continue playing with a face mask and is nearing his next appearance.

Bad news for Borussia Dortmund – but ultimately no cause for concern. Centre-back talent Luca Reggiani suffered a broken nose during his international trip with Italy’s U19 national team. Ruhr Nachrichten report this. The 18-year-old picked up the injury at the end of March during the European Championship qualifier against Turkey.

Despite the painful diagnosis, the youngster remains available. To protect his injured nose, Reggiani is currently training and playing with a black face mask. BVB are therefore optimistic that he will still be an option for the squad in the upcoming Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen (11 April, 15:30).

That an appearance is generally possible was already evident shortly after his return. In the 2-0 away win in Stuttgart, Reggiani was back on the senior team’s bench. He also recently got playing time with the U23s, where he started in the 1-0 win over Sportfreunde Siegen and was substituted after 65 minutes.

Luca Reggiani has extended his BVB contract until 2029

The centre-back is currently going through an exciting period in sporting terms anyway. Only in March, Reggiani extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund on a long-term basis until 2029 – a clear sign of the club’s trust in his development. So far this season, he has made six appearances for the senior team, although his performances have not always been consistent. For example, he was substituted at half-time in the 3-2 home win over HSV.

In the competition for places with established players such as Ramy Bensebaini and Niklas Süle, the talent still has to prove himself – now with a mask for the time being. Still, the club provided a humorous moment on social media: Borussia Dortmund posted a picture of a masked “Ninja Turtle” and cheekily wrote: “Don‘t see any difference”.
