Dortmund reported the extent of Adeyemi’s injury

Karim Adeyemi will be out for around three weeks, Borussia Dortmund reported today after the German striker retired on Sunday in the Bundesliga match against Hertha Berlin (4-1).

Adeyemi left the field in the 35th minute but had time to score Dortmund’s first goal with a superb back-heel shot (27′) and assist Donyell Malen for the second (31′). In this play he was injured at the moment of making a cross towards his teammate.

Dortmund’s brief statement detailed that Adeyemi suffered a small ligament tear in his left ankle that cut short his good run of scoring a goal in his last three games. Before Sunday he scored against Freiburg (5-1) and on Wednesday against Chelsea in the round of 16 (first leg) of the Champions League (1-0) after a spectacular 60-meter gallop.

If the deadlines are met, Adeyemi will miss Bundesliga games where Dortmund, who are tied for second on points with leaders Bayern Munich, will play against Hoffenheim, Leipzig and the derby against Schalke, as well as second leg against Chelsea on September 7. March. .

We will have to see how his loss affects a relaunched Dortmund that has won its eight games, in all competitions, since the start of 2023.
