Konstantinos Karetas returns to Borussia Dortmund squad for Bayern Munich clash
Greek midfielder Konstantinos Karetas has recovered from an ankle injury and been named on the bench for Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich.
Greek international Konstantinos Karetas has returned to competitive availability for Borussia Dortmund after recovering from an ankle injury. The 18-year-old midfielder has been included in the squad for the upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Bayern Munich, marking his return to action after a brief absence.
Karetas had been sidelined for the previous ten days following an injury sustained during a match against Union Berlin. Head coach Niko Kovac confirmed that the player had successfully returned to training sessions, which led to the decision to include him in the traveling party for the high-profile encounter.
Despite his return to the squad, Karetas is not expected to start the match. Reports indicate that he will begin the game on the bench as Borussia Dortmund prepares for the eighth round of the Bundesliga season against their rivals.
Federico Valverde has recovered from an injury sustained in El Clasico and is reportedly available for Real Madrid's Champions League match against AEK.
