What We Know

Nico Schlotterbeck, a centre-back for Germany and Borussia Dortmund, sustained a medial ligament injury to his left ankle early in Germany’s 2-1 win over Côte d’Ivoire and has been ruled out for the remainder of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed the diagnosis in a statement reported by ESPN and FIFA, and Borussia Dortmund described the outcome as “a real shame and incredibly tough to take,” quoting Ricken.

Multiple outlets report the injury is to the medial ankle ligaments and that Schlotterbeck will miss the rest of the tournament. Sportstar reports the damage will keep him out “for several months,” indicating recovery will extend beyond the World Cup timeframe. BBC notes Schlotterbeck made his international debut in March 2022, underlining his role in the national team setup.
