Karim Adeyemi Injured, Out Over a Month

Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi is expected to be sidelined for over a month due to a torn muscle fiber in his thigh, following his impressive hat trick in a 7-1 victory over Celtic. Coach Nuri Sahin confirmed the severity of the injury, which will prevent Adeyemi from participating in key matches, including a Champions League rematch against Real Madrid on October 22. Additionally, 18-year-old Julien Duranville, who replaced Adeyemi in the Celtic game, has also sustained a similar injury and will be out for several weeks. American teammate Gio Reyna is facing a setback in his recovery from a groin injury, further complicating Dortmund's forward options. This series of injuries comes at a critical moment for the club, which is aiming to improve its consistency in the Bundesliga. Dortmund's next match is scheduled against Union Berlin this Saturday.
