Matthias Ginter to take over as Dortmund captain

It has been confirmed that Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji will undergo surgery on his knee and will be out of action for up to 10 weeks. This news comes as a blow to the team, as Akanji has been a key player in their defense this season.

The 26-year-old Switzerland international has been struggling with his knee for some time now, and the decision to undergo surgery was made in order to ensure he fully recovers and returns to full fitness.

Dortmund manager Marco Rose has expressed his disappointment at losing Akanji for an extended period of time, but is confident that the rest of the squad will step up in his absence.

With Akanji sidelined, Matthias Ginter is set to take over the captain’s armband for the team. Ginter has been a reliable and experienced player for Dortmund and is expected to lead the team during Akanji’s absence.

The team will need to adjust to playing without Akanji in the lineup, but they have shown resilience and depth in their squad throughout the season.

We wish Manuel Akanji a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the pitch soon. In the meantime, Dortmund fans will be eagerly watching to see how the team copes without one of their key players.

Despite the setback, Dortmund will be looking to continue their strong performance in the Bundesliga and push for a top finish in the league.
