Giannis Konstantelias scored his first goal for Borussia Dortmund in his first start, but the celebration quickly turned into anxiety when he left the field with a left-leg problem.

Medical tests confirmed the worst fears: the 23-year-old attacking midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament tear and will miss the rest of the season.

The injury forced Dortmund to move quickly for attacking reinforcements. The club reached an agreement with Arsenal to bring in Ethan Nwaneri, a 19-year-old English winger, on loan until the end of the season.

Dortmund officially announced Nwaneri’s arrival on Tuesday night, September 1, 2026. The club said the loan responds to Konstantelias’ injury-related absence.
