SCHOCKIERENDE NACHRICHTEN: Emre Can bei Borussia Dortmund – Was wirklich hinter der aktuellen Situation steckt
Borussia Dortmund supporters have been confronted with a wave of speculation surrounding captain Emre Can, with dramatic reports circulating online claiming that the experienced midfielder has been suspended by the club because of an alleged incident. However, there is currently no reliable confirmation that Dortmund have imposed a disciplinary suspension on Can.
The confirmed situation is already significant. Can has been dealing with a serious cruciate-ligament injury since March 2026, which has kept him away from competitive action. The injury has also affected his availability at the beginning of the 2026/27 campaign. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač recently confirmed that Can remained a long-term absentee alongside fellow injured player Giannis Konstantelias.
Another development that attracted considerable attention came earlier in September, when Dortmund submitted their Champions League squad to UEFA without their captain. German reports described Can’s absence from the squad as a surprise, although the explanation was connected to his injury rather than a disciplinary punishment. Sky Sport reported that the 32-year-old was still undergoing rehabilitation and had not yet returned to full fitness.
That decision naturally created questions among supporters. Can is not an ordinary squad member at Dortmund; he has served as captain and has played an important leadership role within the dressing room. His absence therefore represents both a sporting and leadership issue for the club.
According to reports, Dortmund could potentially add players to their Champions League squad later in the season if they progress beyond the league phase. That means Can’s situation is not necessarily a permanent exclusion from European competition.
The midfielder’s importance to Dortmund is also reflected in his official player status. The Bundesliga currently lists Can as a Borussia Dortmund player, although he has made no appearances in the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign because of his injury.
For now, therefore, supporters should be cautious about social-media headlines claiming that Can has been suspended because of an alleged incident. No credible source identified in the current reporting confirms such a disciplinary action.
What is clear is that Dortmund are continuing their season without one of their most experienced players. The club have made a strong start domestically, winning their first three Bundesliga matches, while Can continues his recovery away from competitive football.
His eventual return will be closely watched. Until an official statement says otherwise, however, the story is about injury and squad availability—not a confirmed suspension.
