Konstantinos Karetsas - Facing potential lengthy absence Karetsas (ankle) could be sidelined for several weeks after being spotted on crutches following Saturday's 0-0 draw against Union Berlin, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Karetsas suffered the injury during a challenge with Rani Khedira just eight minutes after entering Saturday's match against Union Berlin, forcing him to leave the pitch shortly afterward. The 18-year-old was subsequently seen using crutches upon Dortmund's return from Berlin, raising concerns about a potentially significant ankle injury. The midfielder is scheduled to undergo further examinations Sunday to determine the severity of his left ankle injury. An absence lasting until at least the November international break is reportedly possible, although the exact recovery timeline remains uncertain. The setback represents another interruption for the young attacking midfielder, who has struggled to regain his previous momentum following a medical incident during the Champions League clash against Villarreal.

Impact Ryerson suffered a rib injury following a collision while representing Norway during the international break, forcing him to sit out Dortmund's latest league fixture. However, his inclusion in Wednesday's matchday squad suggests he has recovered sufficiently to return to competitive action.

Filippo Mane - Earns first-team call-up Mane (thigh) has been named in Borussia Dortmund's squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Bodo/Glimt after recently returning from a muscular injury, the club posted.

The 21-year-old defender has endured several injury setbacks, but his inclusion in Wednesday's first-team squad represents another encouraging step toward regaining full fitness. However, given his limited competitive minutes since returning, Mane is more likely to provide defensive depth off the bench than immediately challenge for a starting role.
