Borussia Dortmund is still searching for answers after new signing Karetsas collapsed during a Champions League match and had to be carried off on a stretcher. According to fussballdaten.de, the first medical examinations have been completed, but they have not provided a clear explanation for the incident.
The player was taken to a hospital following the collapse, as reported by RTL+. The event occurred during Dortmund's Champions League fixture against Villarreal, a match that also featured a strong attacking display from the duo of Serhou Guirassy and Silva, per RTL+.
The mystery surrounding Karetsas' sudden physical breakdown has left the club's medical staff and coaching team without definitive answers. FOCUS online reports that Borussia Dortmund is still puzzled over what caused the player's collapse, even after the initial round of tests. BILD added that there was notable activity in the stadium's tunnels immediately after the shock moment, though the specifics of what happened there remain part of the ongoing situation.
The 20-year-old's condition is now the primary concern for the club, which had high hopes for the new arrival. The lack of a clear diagnosis from the first examinations means Dortmund will likely need to conduct further, more detailed testing to determine the root cause and, crucially, the timeline for his potential return to the pitch.
All eyes will now be on Dortmund's next medical update, as fans and the club alike await clarity on Karetsas' health and what this means for his debut season in the Bundesliga.
