Borussia Dortmund started the new Bundesliga season with a 2:0 victory over Hamburger SV, but concerns about Giannis Konstantelias overshadowed the successful evening. The Greek attacking player was among Dortmund's most prominent footballers in his first league appearance, but had to withdraw due to injury after 54 minutes. Spiegel.de ↗
According to statements by coach Nick Kovac, Dortmund fears damage to the anterior cruciate ligament. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the club could still react in the market shortly before the end of the transfer window. Konstantelias, together with Konstantinos Karetsas, significantly revitalized Borussia's play, and the new Greek signings already attracted the attention of fans in the opening match. Tagesspiegel ↗
The match had another unpleasant moment. Eighteen-year-old Samuele Inácio received a red card just three minutes after coming onto the pitch. When leaving the tunnel, he subsequently threw a water bottle toward the BVB emblem, which sparked criticism, and according to reports, he was crying after the match.
For Dortmund, therefore, the start of the season is successful in terms of results, but uncertain in terms of personnel. The immediate developments will depend mainly on medical examinations of Konstantelias, which will determine whether the club will lose one of its most prominent new faces for a longer period and whether it will have to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.
