Dortmund Teenager Karetsas Hospitalized with Circulation Issue After Collapse in Champions League

Borussia Dortmund said the 18-year-old was removed because of circulation problems and taken to hospital for further tests.

  • On Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund teenager Konstantinos Karetsas was hospitalized after collapsing 25 minutes into his UEFA Champions League debut against Villarreal in Dortmund, Germany.
  • The club later confirmed the substitution was "due to circulation problems," noting Karetsas was taken to the hospital for additional examinations and is doing as well as can be expected.
  • Karetsas gestured distress to the referee before sitting on the grass, where he received medical treatment on the pitch before being carried away on a stretcher.
  • Ethan Nwaneri replaced Karetsas in the 27th minute, and Serhou Guirassy's second-half double powered Dortmund to a 3-2 victory over Villarreal.
  • Manager Niko Kovac dismissed training concerns, stating "Karetsas didn't participate in full training" due to normal gym work, as the club manages availability following Giannis Konstantelias's late-August ACL injury.
