Konstantinos Karetsas
18-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
Available off bench against Bremen
Karetsas (illness) is available off the bench for Friday's Bundesliga clash against Werder Bremen after overcoming fitness concerns following his return from international duty.
ANALYSIS
Karetsas has recovered sufficiently to make Borussia Dortmund's matchday squad despite dealing with illness and fatigue following a demanding international break. The attacker had been considered doubtful after accumulating significant playing time and travel commitments, but his inclusion among the substitutes confirms he is available for selection. Having started two of his three Bundesliga appearances this season, registering one assist and four chances created, Karetsas could provide an attacking option off the bench Friday.
