BVB faces a two-month absence of Sokratis due to muscle injury - BVB is forced to sideline Sule for a span of two months due to a muscle injury.
Borussia Dortmund Suffers a Blow with Niklas Süle's Two-Month Absence
Niklas Süle, a key centre-back for Borussia Dortmund, will be sidelined for approximately two months due to a significant calf muscle injury[1][2][3][4]. The injury occurred during a pre-season friendly match against Juventus Turin on August 10, 2025.
Süle came on as a substitute early in the match but had to leave the field supported and with a slight limp before halftime, without any opponent contact[1]. After treatment, he was substituted off due to the calf issue.
The specific nature of the injury was not specified in the article, but it is described as a significant calf strain or muscle injury. This setback is expected to keep Süle out of action until late October, meaning he will miss the start of Borussia Dortmund's 2025-26 Bundesliga and Champions League campaigns.
The absence of Süle is a major blow to Dortmund’s defense, as he was a crucial player in their backline last season[5]. Coach Niko Kovac initially hoped that the injury was not severe, but the subsequent diagnosis has confirmed a longer recovery period.
It remains unclear whether Borussia Dortmund will make any roster changes to compensate for Süle's absence[6]. The team's first match without Süle is scheduled for August 23, against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga opener, followed by the first-round German Cup tie.
Niklas Süle has a history of issues with his right syndesmosis during the previous season[7]. However, the current injury is not specified in the article. Fans and supporters of Borussia Dortmund will be hoping for a swift recovery for Süle, as they prepare for the upcoming season without their experienced centre-back.
