Impact Sule was likely to be an option Sunday but missed out, now turning his attention to Wednesday's outing. This comes after he was able to train, just needing to make it through to the team sheet. That said, he appears to be a late call, likely to be a bench option if selected for the match.

Impact Sule trained in full on Friday morning and is back available for Sunday's clash against Hoffenheim after fully recovering from a toe injury that sidelined him since late October. This is good news for the Black and Yellow since he will bring a boost in the defense, although he will likely hold a rotational role in the back-three moving forward.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Lightly trains Sule (toe) was involved in a light training session, according to manager Niko Kovac. "We had a light training session today. Niki won't be there tomorrow."

Impact Sule continues to progress through his injury, with the defender able to do a light training session Monday. However, he is still not available for play, likely to need a week or two more to recover. He has been out since the end of October, a rough spell for the defender who always seems to have a nagging issue.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sule (toe) remains out for the time being, coach Niko Kovac said in the press conference. "Niklas still has problems with his toe."

Impact Sule is still dealing with his toe injury and not available for the time being. His timeline for return is uncertain but his absence won't impact the starting squad since he is likely only a back-up option in the back-three of Dortmund.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Saturday Sule (toe) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Hamburger.

Impact Sule missed the last two games due to a toe injury and has not been included in the squad for Saturday's clash against the red shorts. Although he was expected to train on Friday, the club has opted not to risk him just yet. That said, his ongoing role as a rotational option means his absence will not affect BVB's usual defensive setup.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Hamburger Sule (toe) is expected to train on Friday but remains questionable for Saturday's clash against Hamburger, coach Niko Kovac said in the press conference.

Impact Sule missed the last two games due to a toe injury and remains questionable to feature in Saturday's clash against the red shorts. The center-back is expected to train with the team on Friday and will likely be assessed after the session to know if he can be part of the match squad. That said, he will likely be a rotational option moving forward for BVB, therefore his potential absence won't impact the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against City Sule (toe) is ruled out for Wednesday's clash against Manchester City, the club announced.

Impact Sule is dealing with a toe injury and won't be available for Wednesday's clash against Manchester City in the Champions League. His absence will not impact the starting squad as he is likely fourth or fifth in the hierarchy within BVB's back-three setup.

Makes surprise start Sule (calf) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Athletic.

Impact Sule has missed the beginning of the season due to a calf injury but is finally in for his return, with the defender starting in Wednesday's UCL contest. That said, this is his debut, giving the club more depth in the defense. He will now look to continue earning starting time, although a rotational role behind Ramy Bensebaini, Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck seems more likely.

Dortmund's defensive worries deepen with Niklas Süle out for 2 months with a calf injury

Borussia Dortmund’s defensive worries have deepened with central defender Niklas Süle expected to be out for two months with a right calf injury sustained during a friendly game ag...

AUGUST 11 • Associated Press

Set for two months out Sule suffered a calf injury in Sunday's preseason friendly and is set to miss the next two months, according to his club.

Impact Sule won't make the season opener and likely won't join the club until October, after it was deemed he suffered a muscle injury in his calf. This continues his struggles each of the past few seasons remaining fit, missing a solid chunk of last season with injury. This does mean the club loses its first defensive replacement off the bench, possibly forcing Almugera Kabar and Yan Couto into more minutes, as Nico Schlotterbeck (knee) is out until October as well. That said, Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton and Daniel Svensson are the likely center-back trio for opening day.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off injured Sule (undisclosed) was forced off injured in Sunday's pre-season friendly against Juventus, according to the club.

Impact Sule was forced off in the first half of Sunday's pre-season friendly against Juventus due to an injury. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, but he has been struggling to stay fit since last season and will likely hold a rotational role heading into 2025/26, leaving some space for Waldemar Anton or Ramy Bensebaini to have larger roles in the back three.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Role drops off Sule started in 12 of his 15 appearances while notching four interceptions, 14 tackles and 45 clearances this season.

Impact Sule was back in Germany, serving yet another season among the best teams in the league with Dortmund, his third season with the club since his transfer from Bayern. He would still see minutes this season, but in a greatly reduced number, not seeing an everyday starting role this season until Nico Shlotterbeck went down injured to end the season. He did battle some injuries, but regardless of that, it appears his top minutes are behind him, with the defender appearing to be falling off to more of a rotational role.

MAY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for bench role Sule (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Sule has returned to the team sheet Wednesday, with the defender making a return to the bench after a match out due to undisclosed issues. He will look to test his legs and could see some use very soon, as he is predicted to see more time with Nico Schlotterbeck (knee) out for the season.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes squad list Sule (undisclosed) is on the squad list for Wednesday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Sule was back training Tuesday and looks to be even more of an option after making the squad list. This is good news for the club, as they do need a few defenders to step up after Nico Schlotterbeck (knee) was announced out for the season. He likely won't see the start but could still feature off the bench if he makes the team sheet.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Training with squad Tuesday Sule (undisclosed) was spotted in team training Tuesday ahead of the Champions League clash against Barcelona, the club announced.

Impact Sule is in a good position to be available for Wednesday's clash against Barcelona after returning to team training Tuesday, suggesting he has recovered from his injury. That said, his return shouldn't have much impact on the starting squad as he has been a bench option recently, playing only 11 minutes since mid-February. However, he could see increased playing time during Nico Schlotterbeck's recovery from injury.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sule (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Freiburg.

Impact Sule is not going to be an option despite being a late call, with the defender appearing to have not passed testing. This is at least still positive, as he should be nearing a return, with their next contest against Barcelona on Wednesday.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Late call to face Freiburg Sule didn't train Thursday and is a late call for Saturday's match against Freiburg, according to manager Niko Kovac. "Niklas hasn't trained, so we'll have to see."

Impact Sule appears to be battling some fitness issues this week, as he has not trained ahead of Saturday's match. This will leave him questionable, likely needing to pass a fitness test to be available to play. With Emre Can (undisclosed) also injured and Nico Schlotterbeck suspended, this will be something to monitor, as Sule could be a replacement in the middle of the defense if deemed fit enough to play.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

On Bench Saturday Sule (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart.

Impact Sule resumed team training Wednesday after recovering from an injury that sidelined him since early December. He may not be ready to start but could return as a substitute in central defense later in the game.
