Updated:2025-12-28 07:01 Views:74### Mats Hummels Injury Latest: Borussia Dortmund's Star Struggles
Borussia Dortmund has been rocked by the latest news in their defense as center-back Mats Hummels suffered another injury during training. The 29-year-old German international has been sidelined since November 14th, when he broke his right leg while playing for Germany against France at the World Cup.
The incident came just two weeks after Hummels had returned from a long-term injury to the thigh that required surgery. His absence has left the team scrambling to find a replacement for one of their most reliable defenders.
Dortmund manager Joachim Low is reportedly concerned about the impact of Hummels' injury on the squad's defensive depth and overall performance. "We need to be careful with Mats, especially considering the nature of his injury," Low said. "But we have other options available and will do our best to make sure everyone is ready for the upcoming matches."
In the meantime, Dortmund have turned to their experienced players like Thomas Müller and Marcel Schmelzer to step up in the absence of Hummels. However, there remains uncertainty about how quickly they can recover and return to form.
Hummels' injury comes at a time when Borussia Dortmund is looking to build momentum ahead of the Bundesliga season and potentially qualify for the UEFA Champions League. With his absence, the team may struggle to maintain their high level of play and face increased pressure from their rivals.
Despite the setback, Dortmund fans remain optimistic about their chances of success this season. As Low put it, "We have a strong squad and I'm confident that we can overcome any challenges that come our way." Whether or not Hummels returns to action soon remains to be seen, but for now, the team is focused on continuing to perform at a high level and securing their place among the top teams in Europe.
