April 2026

Niklas Süle’s Dortmund career appears close to ending in brutal fashion after a fresh knee injury in defeat to Hoffenheim.

Süle was recalled by Niko Kovac for the first time since February 7, but his comeback ended badly when he twisted his knee while trying to stop Andrej Kramaric. Kovac said there was no certainty yet, though club executive Lars Ricken admitted there was already suspicion of a serious injury.
