Niklas Sule
29-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 10/18/2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

ANALYSIS
Chelsea might lose both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen since both are nearing the end of their contracts at Stamford Bridge, and this means Chelsea could turn their attention to new names on the market. Niklas Sule and Jules Kounde are two viable alternatives as replacements. Sule has been linked with a Premier League switch for quite a while.
