Emre Can’s Dortmund future in doubt as injury recovery continues to drag on

Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can's future at the club is in doubt as his recovery from a long-term injury continues to drag on. The 32-year-old midfielder has been sidelined since tearing his ACL in February and is not expected to return to action until the new year. Reports from Kicker and Ruhr Nachrichten indicate that it remains uncertain whether the club and player will continue together beyond his current contract.

Can recently underwent an additional procedure to treat ongoing adductor issues. Although Dortmund previously extended his contract through 2027 despite his injury, his performance and progress in the second half of the season are expected to decide his long-term fate. Can originally joined Dortmund from Juventus in 2020 for a reported €25 million.
