The 29-year-old limped off the pitch shortly before half-time, supported by two supervisors. The national player was obviously in great pain, he kept shaking his head.
“He took a hit, a horse’s kiss in the traditional sense. He said he had never felt pain like that before. He mightn’t go on any further,” explained BVB coach Edin Terzic following the game. In the catacombs, Can himself simply said, “It’s okay, it’s not that bad.”
What happened? In the 38th minute, Can grabbed his thigh above his right knee and sank to the grass.
After Can left the pitch, he returned to the field a short time later, but quickly indicated with a hand signal that things might not continue. Coach Edin Terzic called for him to lie down.
Can, who had been playing well until then, finally gave up his place in a one-to-one substitution in central midfield for Salih Özcan (43′). It was only the ninth appearance in the premier class for the 25-year-old.
“Salih did exceptionally well. That’s what we want from all the boys who are in the squad, that they can take on such an important role,” praised Terzic.
