Overview
- Borussia Dortmund beat Villarreal 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday but the result was clouded when Konstantinos Karetsas went down with circulatory problems and was carried off on a stretcher.
- Serhou Guirassy scored a late brace to secure the win and also conceded an own goal in stoppage time, making him the match’s decisive figure on the pitch.
- The club issued preliminary reassurance that Karetsas was conscious and being examined at hospital while describing the situation as developing and subject to further medical tests.
- Leon Goretzka announced on Monday that he needs a short recovery pause after his move to Aston Villa and is likely to miss Jürgen Klopp’s first Germany squad selection in mid‑September.
- Young attacker Louey Ben Farhat has formally switched his international allegiance to Germany from Tunisia and could be available for DFB youth or senior squads once paperwork and selection decisions are complete.
