Giannis Konstantelias put in an impressive performance and scored a goal in his Bundesliga debut with Dortmund, however, he had to leave the match against Dortmund due to injury, and there are concerns about a possible hamstring injury. What’s even worse is that the injury occurred in front of his family, who had traveled from Greece to watch him play. “His family traveled here today, specifically for the game,” revealed his coach, Niko Kovac.
“He told me as he was leaving the field after being substituted that he heard a crack. After the game, of course, I comforted him in the locker room. He was very upset. What the fans saw from him shows great promise. And that’s why we’ll certainly be very sad if it’s confirmed that he has a serious injury. But we’ll help him come back even stronger.”
“Delias” had signed a five-year contract twelve days ago with Dortmund, which spent over 26 million euros to acquire him from PAOK. If the injury turns out to be very serious, the possibility of a transfer remains open. “We have to think about it,” said Kovac. “We have to see what else is possible. We don’t know if we’ll do anything. But at least we’ll consider it. That much is clear,” he added.
