The young Greek winger Georgios Karetsas suffered a scare during the match between Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal. The player felt unwell and was substituted still in the first half of the match, having later been taken to hospital due to circulatory problems.
Borussia Dortmund confirmed last night that the athlete is well and would undergo additional tests to evaluate his health condition. The German club did not provide further details about the medical condition of the young 18-year-old player.
Karetsas, who recently joined Dortmund, has been one of the promises of Greek football. This incident occurred during a preparation or competition match, in which the young winger was on the pitch before being forced to leave the game.
The scare generated concern among the fans and the club's structure, but the assurances given by Borussia Dortmund indicate that the situation is not serious. The player is expected to remain under medical observation in the coming hours.
