Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can is unlikely to be fit for the start of the 2025/26 season due to ongoing adductor issues.
Borussia Dortmund’s captain, Emre Can, is facing a fitness challenge that may keep him out of the team’s early matches in the new season. According to reports, Can’s ongoing adductor issues are causing concerns about his availability for the start of the 2025/26 campaign.
Can has been unable to participate in full team training sessions due to his injury, and it’s unclear when he will be able to rejoin his teammates. The 31-year-old has missed both the Club World Cup and the start of pre-season, and his absence is likely to be felt in the team’s upcoming matches.
Dortmund’s first competitive match of the new season is against Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB-Pokal on August 18. Given Can’s current fitness status, it’s unlikely that he will be fit for this match.
Can’s adductor issues have been a persistent problem, and Dortmund’s medical team will be working hard to ensure that he recovers fully and returns to the team as soon as possible. The captain’s experience and leadership will be crucial for the team’s success, and his absence will be deeply felt.
