Emre Can undergoes new surgery during recovery period

Emre Can, the captain of Borussia Dortmund, is continuing to work intensively during his recovery from a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee, which he suffered in February during a match against Bayern Munich.

According to "Kicker", Emre Can's return to the pitch remains unclear, despite the 32-year-old following his rehabilitation program and feeling good physically and mentally.

Emre Can has taken advantage of his long absence to undergo additional surgery after previously suffering from long-term problems in the adductor muscle area. According to the source, the operation was successful and was necessary to avoid the player experiencing another long absence in the future.

Emre Can has spoken about his condition, confirming that there has been improvement. However, he noted that the road to recovery is still long, as he has become able to walk without crutches and bear weight on his knee.

It is still early to determine when he will return to team training or participate in Bundesliga matches, as it is not ruled out that he could return before the end of the current year, while his return could extend beyond the winter break.

Emre Can's future with Dortmund after the end of the season is not a priority for the player at the moment, as he is fully focused on regaining his fitness and returning to the pitch. The club had previously renewed his contract for one year, until the summer of 2027, despite his serious injury.
