EMRE CAN NEWS

Busy in defeat Can made three interceptions and two tackles during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Bayern.

Impact Can struggled to get anything going forward, as he tends to frequently with his defensive role. The midfielder simply hasn't had much fantasy value this year, and despite some surprise starts further up the pitch, is a lackluster fantasy option. Next up is a Tuesday clash with Besiktas.

Impact Can -- who came on at halftime in a swap with Nico Schulz -- has been limited to just seven appearances for the club this season including Wednesday's matchup. While the defensive midfielder will still be an option versus VfL Wolfsburg in domestic competition Saturday, he will face a minimum one-match suspension for his sending off.

Expected out Wednesday Can (strain) is still dealing with a muscle injury and is expected to miss Wednesday's clash with Ajax.

Impact Can is expected to be out once again Wednesday, as he continues to deal with a muscle strain he picked up during training. The defender would have likely been on the bench either way, but provided much-needed depth during the current injury crisis at Dortmund. He will hope to return Saturday, away to Leipzig before the international break.

Muscle injury pops up Can (strain) will be out Saturday against Koln, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Can picked up a muscle injury out of nowhere during a midweek cup match perhaps. The midfielder had become a member of the starting XI due to an absurd amount of injuries, so this is just more strain on the Dortmund depth. It's not clear who will take his place in the starting XI.

Scores penalty Can scored one penalty and made five tackles during Saturday's 3-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Can scored a penalty and made five tackles in a spot start in center midfield. The defender has been mainly pushed to full-back as a depth option, but looked comfortable in his more natural position. Can has some sneaky fantasy value if he can continue to slot into central midfield Saturday, against Koln.

Available against Augsburg Can (strain) will be available for Saturday's match against Augsburg, according to manager Marco Rose. "Emre Can looks good, he'll be there tomorrow."

Impact Can will be back in the squad Saturday, but he's yet to start this season and has played only 10 minutes, so it's hard to see him playing a significant role. It's more likely he'll get back his fitness over the break and fight for more playing time in a couple weeks.

Out Tuesday Can (strain) will not be available versus Sporting CP on Tuesday.

Impact Can will be out of action for his sixth straight contest due to his muscular injury. The defender has made just one 10-minute substitute appearance for the club this year and likely figures to be a fringe roster player even when fully fit.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Can participated in Dortmund's final training session ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Sporting, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Can has missed the last month with a muscle strain, but he may be fit enough to return to the squad and possibly get some minutes.

Won't play Saturday Can (strain) will not be an option versus Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday as manager Marco Rose told reporters, "Also Emre Can will need a few more days to recover."

Impact Can's only appearance this season came off the bench in a 10-minutes substitute outing. As such, the defender's absence shouldn't impact the starting XI, though ti will no doubt stretch the club's depth given the bevy of injuries on the backline, including Mats Hummels (knee) and Thomas Meunier (undisclosed).

Picks up muscular injury Can will miss out against Hoffenheim on Friday after suffering a muscular injury.

Impact Can has logged just 10 minutes off the bench this season but was in line to start versus Hoffenheim. Fortunately for Dortmund, the club will get Thomas Meunier (COVID-19) back in the starting XI. Once healthy, Can may be utilized in a midfield role but is far from a lock to start on a weekly basis.

Starts on bench against Freiburg Can will start the match against Freiburg on the bench on Saturday.

Impact Can will start Saturday's match on the bench. The defender travelled with the squad despite suffering from a calf injury in the recent past.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Travels to Freiburg Can (calf) is traveling with the squad for Saturday's clash with Freiburg.

Impact Can suffered a setback last week in training, and is now questionable at best for Saturday's match. The defender did travel with the squad but that doesn't guarantee he will play. Can returning would be a boon for a Dortmund side who have already suffered multiple defensive injuries.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with muscle injuries Can suffered a setback in his calf and then to his groin in training last week and is considered day-to-day by manager Marco Rose.

Impact Can missed the league match over the weekend and will miss the midweek DFB Cup game, as well. Given that he has multiple muscle injuries, he's not expected to start Saturday at Freiburg, though if he recovers quickly, that could change.
