Borussia Dortmund, without Kostas Karetsas in its lineup, defeated Paderborn 3-0, continuing its unbeaten run across all competitions and climbing to third place in the league. Fabio Silva and Felix Enmecha were the standout performers, while Girassi had two goals disallowed for offside.
The international winger has returned to individual training and is now in the final stages of rejoining the team’s regular schedule, as reported by “BILD.”
Sports director Ole Buk described the difficult moments the international attacking midfielder went through a few weeks ago: “I went outside with him, but at that moment he couldn’t speak properly. We were all quite shaken and frightened. We were worried about the young man.”
Now, there’s a huge sense of relief at the Dortmund training camp! Sporting director Lars Ricken said: “We examined him thoroughly for three days, and, in fact, nothing abnormal was found.”
As early as the 3-0 win over Paderborn, Karetsas was back at Signal Iduna Park. Bouk went on to say: “We’re glad that everything looks good, that he can now return to training and help us on the field again.”
“Kos” has already returned to training. There, Dortmund will closely monitor how the 18-year-old star responds. It’s even possible he could return to the squad for the upcoming away game against Stuttgart.
