Another blow for Dortmund as Karetsas injury adds to Greek woes in the team
Borussia Dortmund suffered a painful blow during their match against Villarreal in the opening of their UEFA Champions League campaign, as new Greek signing Konstantinos Karetsas sustained an injury that forced him to leave the pitch early.
Konstantinos Karetsas, 18, was unable to leave the pitch on his own, and was carried off on a stretcher amid concerns over the nature and severity of his injury. Medical examinations are awaited to determine the length of his absence.
Konstantinos Karetsas has suffered an injury at a difficult time for Borussia Dortmund, especially as the team recently lost compatriot Giannis Konstantelias due to a serious injury.
Konstantinos Karetsas has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the match against Hamburg in the opening round of the Bundesliga, after twisting his knee in the 52nd minute, which will keep him out of action for several months.
Thus, Borussia Dortmund finds itself facing another setback with a Greek player, after the duo Konstantinos Karetsas and Konstantinoulias had caught the eye with the team at the start of the season.
All eyes are now on Konstantinos Karetsas' medical examinations, with hopes that his injury is less severe and that the tragedy of his compatriot Konstantinos Koutoupis does not repeat.
