Borussia Dortmund’s captain Emre Can is expected to miss several more weeks due to ongoing groin issues, with a return to action not anticipated before October.

Borussia Dortmund’s captain Emre Can will continue to be sidelined for several more weeks as he recovers from ongoing groin issues.

The 31-year-old German international has missed the club’s opening games of the season and is not expected to return to action anytime soon.

According to local publications, Can’s return is not expected before October. Dortmund plans to reintegrate Can gradually to avoid any setbacks following his lengthy absence.

Can has made a total of 204 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and has been an important player for the club.

However, his injury has left a gap in the team, and Dortmund will need to find ways to compensate for his absence. With Can’s contract set to expire in a year, the club will be keen to see him return to full fitness and make a significant contribution to the team.

As the season progresses, Dortmund will be keeping a close eye on Can’s recovery and will look to integrate him back into the team when he is fit. With a return to action not expected before October, Can will have several more weeks of rehabilitation ahead of him before he can rejoin his teammates on the pitch.
