Meeting the Club World Cup Without Can and Özcan
Borussia Dortmund is set to face the Club World Cup without defenders Emre Can and Salih Özcan due to injuries. Captain Can is dealing with adductor issues and will undergo rehab in Dortmund, aiming to join the team when Bundesliga preparation kicks off again. Özcan, injured during training with the Turkish national team, also won't make the trip to the USA.
The BVB team has no intention of signing any free agents on short notice for the tournament. The team's first match at the Club World Cup will be against Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro on June 17th.
(Injury setbacks may impact Borussia Dortmund's gameplan, as defenders Emre Can and Salih Özcan are crucial to the team's midfield fortress. Can showcases versatility, offering both defensive solidity and attacking prowess, while Özcan exhibits potential in controlling the game tempo and providing defensive cover. Their collective absence may test Dortmund's defensive stability, creativity, and leadership qualities.)
