Overview

• The 23-year-old says nothing was consciously concealed about last season’s adductor operation and that details were kept private in agreement with Wolves.
• Multiple reports state BVB officials only learned of the procedure at the pre-signing medical, though they had accepted he would not be immediately available.
• Silva has yet to play a competitive minute for Dortmund but was named to the matchday group for Mainz and could debut.
• Dortmund paid roughly €20–22.5 million to sign him from Wolverhampton in August after a strong loan at Las Palmas.
• He also addressed a copied farewell post on Instagram, insisting he wrote the text himself and had only an adviser check the English.
