Germany paid the price for their victory.

Central defender Nico Schlotterbeck faces the risk of tearing his anterior cruciate ligament after suffering an injury in Germany's victory over Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.

Schlotterbeck left the field in the first half of the match against Ivory Coast, leaving a major concern for the German national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup .

Germany received bad news despite securing a favorable result against Ivory Coast in Group E of the 2026 World Cup on the morning of June 21st. Schlotterbeck, one of the key players in the defense, had to leave the field in the first half after a collision and likely suffered a serious knee injury.

After the match, coach Julian Nagelsmann confirmed that his player's situation was not looking good. The German coach said that Schlotterbeck had a ligament problem and initial assessments suggested it could be a serious injury.

"It's a ligament issue. What we initially observed wasn't really positive," Nagelsmann shared.

Schlotterbeck received medical attention on the pitch before being forced to leave the game. He was unable to continue playing and was replaced by Antonio Rudiger after halftime.

The absence of the Borussia Dortmund center-back is a major blow for the German national team. Since the start of the tournament, Schlotterbeck has been Nagelsmann's regular choice at center-back, partnering with Jonathan Tah in "Die Mannschaft's" defense.

This injury not only affects Germany's ambitions at the 2026 World Cup, but could also significantly impact Schlotterbeck's future. The 26-year-old center-back is attracting interest from several major European clubs, including Real Madrid.

Previously, Dortmund's contract extension with Schlotterbeck, including a €60 million release clause, had made him a notable name in the transfer market. The 2026 World Cup is seen as an opportunity for the German player to further increase his value and solidify his position at the highest level.

However, all plans could be disrupted if further tests confirm Schlotterbeck has torn his anterior cruciate ligament. With this type of injury, he would likely be sidelined for an extended period and miss the remainder of the season.
