On September 10, Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Buka gave an interview to the media. He provided an update on young player Karacek's condition and also discussed the possibility of Fabio Silva partnering with Guirassy in a two-striker formation.

Ole, my first question has to be about Karacek's health. How is he?

Overall, he's in good condition at the moment. We're running further tests to determine the exact situation. Obviously, our top priority right now is the player and his health, so he won't play with the team this weekend.

Karacek's situation reminds us of very dramatic cases, like Christian Eriksen's.

Yes, but at this moment it seems unlikely to go in that direction. So far we're very optimistic, but as I said, more tests are still being conducted and we're awaiting the results.

When do you expect to have the results so he can return to play?

As a non-medical professional, I can't give you a precise estimate.

Is he still in the hospital?

Yes, he was hospitalized, and I believe he still is.

What impression did he give you?

Overall, he's quite an optimistic player.

Earlier, another U-19 player, Riedel, suddenly collapsed due to dehydration and was also hospitalized. Is there any connection between these two incidents?

This situation is very rare. Yes, it's unusual that this happened to them on the same day, but from our perspective, we also considered whether they might have eaten something together at some point, but ultimately we found no connection.

What impact have you noticed this had on the team?

Of course, the players were concerned at halftime, and I think they had already been in contact with the player after the match. You could tell from the match that they weren't affected throughout the game, at least not at that point, and they were still able to perform normally.

Schlotterbeck has returned to full team training and seems close to making his comeback, right?

He's made a very good impression. Whenever he can return to playing and training with his teammates, his mood always improves.

Plus, being able to play again in front of the home fans is certainly a huge boost that will benefit him greatly. That's why he made such a good impression in yesterday's training—it looked like he was playing a match.

You're about to face newly promoted Paderborn at home. Is this a match you have to win?

This will certainly be a difficult match. We know Paderborn very well, and of course our coaches and players do too; we've always paid close attention to this team. We know how intense Paderborn's matches are, how high their work rate is, and how excellent their system is. We're also aware that they've caused problems for all their opponents. That said, we're looking forward to a Bundesliga match at home and hope to continue our good performance against Villarreal.

On the Possibility of Pairing Guirassy and Fabio Silva as a Two-Striker Formation

I don't want to get ahead of the coach in terms of setting systems and tactical formations. Of course, we've discussed that when players are available and performing well, we naturally consider how they can play together. But that doesn't just apply to Fabio, but also to other players who are performing exceptionally well. Fortunately, we currently have several positions where we need to make some difficult decisions, but that's the kind of squad we want to have.
