Giannis Konstantelias, the young talent that Borussia Dortmund brought in from Greek representative PAOK, is going through one of the most turbulent periods of his football career.
INJURED IN HIS FIRST MATCH, OUT FOR A LONG TIME
The 23-year-old footballer, who has been on the agenda since signing with the German club, was shaken by an unfortunate injury in his first Bundesliga match. After examinations, a tear was detected in the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, and it was announced that the player would be sidelined for several months.
THE DEPARTURE PROCESS FROM PAOK WAS VERY TURBULENT
For Konstantelias, whose transfer process turned into a virtual thriller, things got complicated when he wanted to leave PAOK. The Greek fans surrounding the stadium area to block the transfer did not change the young star's decision. In fact, the footballer, who was stopped at the airport by a PAOK fan during his journey to Germany, had a hard time as he was forced to have a video call with the fan group.
HE SIGNED DESPITE THE PRESSURE, BUT HIS BAD LUCK DID NOT LEAVE HIM
Despite all this pressure, Konstantelias, who signed for Dortmund and took a step towards his dreams, suffered a major setback with a severe injury in his first official Bundesliga match. The young player, whose cruciate ligament tore, will now wait to return to the pitches after a long treatment and rehabilitation process.
