BVB team doctor Dr. Markus Braun collected the defender after his knee surgery at the clinic at Isar Park in Plattling. The procedure went smoothly, and Zagadou's rehabilitation will now continue in Dortmund  in close coordination with the surgeon, Dr. Michael Strobel, from the sporthopaedicum in Straubing.

"I would like to thank both Dr. Strobel and his team at the sporthopaedicum as well as the clinic at Isar Park. I have received excellent treatment and now feel ready to start my recovery and get back to playing football," said a visibly cheerful Dan-Axel Zagadou.
