Konstantinos Karetsas returns to full training with Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas has returned to full team training following a period of individual recovery. The Greek international had been sidelined after suffering a severe dehydration episode during the club's Champions League opening match against Villarreal, an incident that prompted immediate concern among staff and management. Sporting director Ole Book described the initial reaction to the player's condition as distressing, noting the player's inability to communicate normally at the time of the incident.

Following the episode, the club's medical team conducted an intensive three-day examination to rule out underlying health issues. All clinical results returned clear, leading officials, including sporting director Lars Ricken, to express relief regarding his health status. Karetsas was recently spotted at Signal Iduna Park during Dortmund's 3-0 victory against Paderborn, where goals from Fabio Silva and Felix Nmecha helped the team maintain their unbeaten run and climb to third place in the league table.

Having successfully completed his transition from individual training to full group sessions, the player is now deemed healthy and available for selection. Barring any setbacks, Karetsas is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Stuttgart this Saturday. Furthermore, he is anticipated to be available for international duty for the Greek national team in the near future.
