Report: Schulz may join U23s until winter window
After a conversation with Edin Terzic, Nico Schulz could receive consistent playing time with Dortmund's reserve team, according to the 'Ruhr Nachrichten'.
On Thursday, Nico Schulz was back on the pitch playing with the U23s in a friendly against Go Ahead Eagles. Per the 'Ruhr Nachrichten', it's likely that the 29-year-old will be joining this squad for the foreseeable future without any chance of returning to Dortmund's first team.
Schulz was given this opportunity in the 3. Liga after a conversation with Edin Terzic. A meeting with Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl is also scheduled to discuss the defender's future.
With several left-backs preferred to Schulz on the depth chart, he was expected to leave the club this summer. However, after Schulz received domestic violence accusations, BVB struggled to find a buyer. Now, he is completely out of the first team picture and desperate for game time to prove himself once again for a potential winter move.
Schulz has a contract that expires in 2024.
