Borussia Dortmund’s U-19 squad secured a solid 2-0 victory against Union Berlin’s youth side in the DFB youth league on March 30, positioning them well for a spot in the round of 16.
But the celebration was brought down by a steep cost for the home team. Their key player, Mussa Kaba, suffered what could be a devastating injury during the match’s opening half, leaving the club anxious about his future on the pitch.
BVB management suspect the 16-year-old dynamo may have fractured his midfoot, a blow that could sideline him for months. “I hope the suspicion is not confirmed. That would be bitter for Mussa and for us,” head coach of the BVB-U19 team Mike Tullberg told the Ruhr Nachrichten.
The mood at Dortmund has shifted from victory to concern as they await medical updates.
Despite his youth, Kaba has been a key player for the U-19s, logging 27 competitive matches this season. The German-Guinean star chipped in four goals and three assists, proving his worth before this setback.
