Nico Schlotterbeck suffers injury, complicating potential Real Madrid transfer

Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck is facing an uncertain future after suffering a ligament injury during a recent World Cup match against Ivory Coast. Schlotterbeck played until halftime before being substituted, prompting concerns from Germany's coach Julian Nagelsmann about his availability for the remainder of the tournament. Real Madrid had shown interest in signing Schlotterbeck, but the injury complicates their transfer plans. A medical assessment is pending, which will determine the extent of the injury and any impact on a possible move this summer.
