Borussia Dortmund and National team manager Niko Schlotterbeck will continue his recovery after a serious homilcostop injury suffered during the World Cup 2026.

As Bild reports, the Dortmund club has already announced the terms of the player's return.

According to Dzherel, the 26-line center back is at the initial stage of rehabilitation after damage to the homilcostop ligaments. Most of the time, it is difficult to wear a special orthosis, so it is still important to focus on strength training and progressively updated physical form.

Due to the injury, Schlotterbeck also missed Borussia Dortmund's summer tour to Japan, as a result of 26 days of 2 days each.. The club does not want to force this turn and they are planning to give the defender enough time for a new renewal.

However, the Dortmund club is optimistic. Since the rehabilitation process goes smoothly, Schlotterbeck can return to training and be ready for official matches already in the middle of spring.

Guess what, the football player was recognized for his performance in the 2026 World Cup match against the national team of Cote d'Ivoire. The restraint confirmed the serious damage to the medial ligament of the homilcostop, through which the defender completed his performances at the World Cup.
