In the 2020/2021 season, Mateu Morey became a regular at Borussia Dortmund. The right-back, signed on a free transfer from FC Barcelona, developed splendidly until a serious ligament and capsule injury in the DFB Cup against Holstein Kiel threw him completely off track in May 2021. A long rehab followed, followed by a comeback and another setback.
According to ‘Ruhr Nachrichten’, apparently too much to go back to old achievements. “Consequential Injuries” and “training deficit” set the 23-year-old back extremely, according to the local newspaper. Therefore, Morey has the clearance for a change in the summer, it is said. The full-back is still under contract in Dortmund until 2024. Whether he fulfills this is questionable.
Since the horrific injury two years ago, Morey has only played in one competitive game. In August last year, he completed one half for Borussia’s second team against Rot-Weiss Essen (1-0). Another knee operation followed. And in the summer, probably the premature separation.
