Dortmund Teenager Karetsas Hospitalized with Circulation Issue After Collapse in Champions League
Borussia Dortmund said the 18-year-old was removed because of circulation problems and taken to hospital for further tests.
- On Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund teenager Konstantinos Karetsas was hospitalized after collapsing 25 minutes into his UEFA Champions League debut against Villarreal in Dortmund, Germany.
- The club later confirmed the substitution was "due to circulation problems," noting Karetsas was taken to the hospital for additional examinations and is doing as well as can be expected.
- Karetsas gestured distress to the referee before sitting on the grass, where he received medical treatment on the pitch before being carried away on a stretcher.
- Ethan Nwaneri replaced Karetsas in the 27th minute, and Serhou Guirassy's second-half double powered Dortmund to a 3-2 victory over Villarreal.
- Manager Niko Kovac dismissed training concerns, stating "Karetsas didn't participate in full training" due to normal gym work, as the club manages availability following Giannis Konstantelias's late-August ACL injury.
