Borussia Dortmund Puts Adeyemi Under Closer Scrutiny After Benchings and Unusual Early Exit

The increased monitoring follows a December outburst that led to a reported fine.

Overview

  • Adeyemi stayed on the bench until the 84th minute in the 3–0 win over Werder Bremen after logging only 14 minutes in the 3–3 draw at Frankfurt.
  • Roughly 20 minutes after the final whistle against Bremen, he left the locker area alone in what Sport Bild described as an unusual exit, with teammates such as backup goalkeeper Alexander Meyer leaving later.
  • Following a December outburst against Borussia Mönchengladbach, CEO Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl held a one-on-one meeting with the winger during the Marbella training camp.
  • Sport Bild reports the club imposed a fine of about €90,000 after that incident, a figure not officially confirmed by the team.
  • Coach Niko Kovač and club leadership are closely evaluating his conduct and performances, with reports warning that further lapses could damage his standing despite a contract running to 2027.
