Borussia Dortmund Faces Club World Cup Challenges Without Can and Mystery Player Öztürk

Borussia Dortmund misses key players Can and Öztürk for the Club World Cup excursion - BVB Departs for the World Cup Without Can and Özcan (Translation: Borussia Dortmund heads to the World Cup tournament but without players Can and Özcan)

Hey there! Supporters of Borussia Dortmund, aka BVB, brace yourselves! The team is set to embark on the Club World Cup without two essential defensive players, Emre Can and ... well, let's sort out the mystery of Salih Öztürk.

Dortmund's captain, Emre Can, will sit this tournament out due to a lingering adductor issue. Coach Niko Kovac shared that Can will buckle down in Dortmund for rehab, keeping a close eye on his progress so he can swiftly rejoin the team when the Bundesliga preparation kicks off.

Now, things get a bit puzzling with Salih Öztürk. There appears to be some confusion regarding his participation, as the search results only reference Salih Özcan, not Öztürk, a Turkish defender sidelined with a lateral ligament injury sustained during international duty with Turkey. If Öztürk is indeed a different player, please clarify, as there seems to be some name mix-up.

As for Dortmund, the club currently has no plans to sign free agents to shore up its defense before the Club World Cup games. BVB's first match is against Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro on June 17th.

Stay tuned for more updates as we delve deeper into the injury status of these key players and bring you the scoop on any potential roster changes for the Club World Cup.
