Around a year after Carney Chukwuemeka joined Borussia Dortmund from Chelsea, the 22-year-old is still waiting for his major breakthrough at the Bundesliga club.

Chukwuemeka initially arrived on loan before Dortmund paid €20 million to make the move permanent during the summer.

In his first full season at BVB, he has made 26 appearances but has started only eight times – and has not featured in the starting XI since the turn of the year.

According to Ruhr Nachrichten, doubts are mounting over Chukwuemeka’s fitness, with the local outlet questioning why his physical form hasn't visibly improved over the past year.

The English midfielder is contracted to the Black and Yellows until 2030.
