Dortmund loses Niklas Süle for two months due to injury

• Niklas Süle will miss two months due to an injury.
• The team has already lost two defenders due to injuries.
• The first match of the Dortmund season will take place on September 18.

Dortmund, Germany (AP) — The football club "Borussia Dortmund" has encountered new problems with defense, as central defender Niklas Süle will miss nearly two months due to an injury received during the friendly match against "Juventus". Süle received muscle injury and left the field during the first half of the weekend match.

Süle went on the field in the 19th minute, replacing Marcell Schmelzer, who was conducting a routine match. Schmelzer, who last season played for "Roma", has been replaced by the defenders of "Borussia". The team remains without Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, which complicates the situation for coach Nico Kovac before the start of the season.

"Borussia" will start its path in the German Cup on September 18 against "Rot-Weiss Essen", and the first round of the Bundesliga will take place on September 23 against "St. Pauli".
