Dortmund Teenager Karetsas Is Back in Training After Health Problems in Champions League

Borussia Dortmund said the 18-year-old passed tests and resumed training after a collapse that sent him to hospital during his Champions League debut.

  • On Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas returned to team training after individual sessions earlier in the week, ending an absence caused by a medical incident.
  • Karetsas collapsed during his Champions League debut against Villarreal on September 8, signaling distress to the referee before being stretchered off in tears with suspected circulatory problems.
  • Sporting director Ole Book said after the incident, "I went out with him but in that moment, he wasn't able to speak." Managing director Lars Ricken noted there had been "no warning signs."
  • During a visit to former club Genk on Monday, Karetsas said in a video he was doing well, and he watched Dortmund's 3-0 win over Paderborn from the stands on Saturday.
  • Borussia Dortmund has not confirmed whether Karetsas will be available for Saturday's Bundesliga match against Stuttgart, though the midfielder was signed last month for $34.6 million.
