Injury During Mats Hummels Farewell Match

Süle suffered a muscle injury and had to be pulled out before halftime. In fact, he just entered replacing Mats Hummels in the 19th minute in the farewell match of the Veteran defender.

Hummels, 36 years old, last season played for AS Roma after leaving Dortmund for the second time in 2024. The match against Juventus became an emotional moment of separation from Die Borussen fans.

The defender stock is running low

This bad news makes coach Niko Kovac even more dizzy. Dortmund had already lost Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can who were still injured.

This condition worsened the team’s back line crisis ahead of the inaugural match this season at the DFB-Pokal event against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 18.

Furthermore, Dortmund will start the Bundesliga campaign against St. Pauli on August 23.
