Dortmund's new forward player Fabio Silva is still unable to play due to injury. German media "Sports Pictures" revealed that during the transfer negotiations this summer, Fabio Silva's agency once concealed the player's surgery at the end of last season. The report said that Dortmund's senior officials had contacted their favorite striker Fabio Silva as early as early July, and after weeks of hard work, the senior officials successfully convinced the 23-year-old Portuguese striker to join Dortmund.

This seemed to be a very good signing job at first, but there was a problem and it caused great anger within it. Cause: Dortmund didn't find out until the physical examination that Silva had undergone surgery this summer.

Although Dortmund's senior management also knew that Silva had missed the game due to adductory muscle problems since her last game on April 19, the club was surprised by the surgery - although they had several weeks of contact with the players. Silva's agency obviously believes that there is no need to mention the operation.

Until August 28, when Silva was having a medical examination in Dortmund, he had to be asked about his injury history like any new player. In other words: he must disclose his injury history. It was at this time that Dortmund discovered that his injury could not be treated conservatively.

Subsequently, Dortmund's team doctor Dr. Marcus Braun informed the club management of the situation. According to internal information from the club, sports general manager Ricken was very angry about this and made it clear.

In this process, there was also a topic inside: During the negotiations, no senior executives had met the players in person, and the communication was conducted entirely through digital forms. In the post-event assessment, some people believed that if it was face-to-face contact, Dortmund might have discovered the operation earlier.

After Silva's medical examination, the club's senior management and sports director Kyle decided that they still want to complete the transfer. The reason is: first, there is no suitable replacement for Dote in a short period of time; secondly, AC Milan also greatly stepped up its pursuit at that time.

The third reason is that Dortmund had similar positive experience in the case of Gilasi last summer. The forward, who transferred from Stuttgart for 18 million euros, did not go as smoothly as expected during the physical examination: he was found to have an old knee injury during the first physical examination, and after an in-depth review, Dortmund decided to sign Gilasi.

In the third round of last season, Gilasi made his debut for Dortmund, but Silva still cannot play for the same time node this season. The report said that the possibility of his debut in September was slim.
