Karetsas did not suffer an injury but experienced chest pains and was unable to continue playing, something clearly seen during the live broadcast. He was taken from the field on a stretcher after 23 minutes of play. German media reports citing Dortmund FC said the 18-year-old was doing well under the circumstances and was taken to a nearby hospital for further examinations.
The Dortmund club sought to reassure supporters about Karetsas’ condition as he underwent the necessary medical checks. The midfielder joined Dortmund from Belgian club Genk this summer.
