Germany Defender Niklas Sule To Retire At 30, Due To Injury Scare
Bundesliga Champion Niklas Sule: UEFA Champions League winner and five-time Bundesliga Champion Niklas Sule has announced a shock retirement at the age of 30 after an injury scare forced him to reconsider his decision on the future. German International player will put an end to his enormous career at the end of the season once his contract with Borussia Dortmund expires.
The 30-year-old defender made the announcement on the Spielmacher podcast. Sule explained that he has been considering the option for a while, but he finally made the decision after he injured his knee against Hoffenheim in mid-April and feared it was a third cruciate ligament tear.
“What I felt when our doctor did the drawer test in the dressing room at Hoffenheim, when he looked at the physio and shook his head, and the physio did it too and didn’t feel any resistance either. I went into the shower and cried for 10 minutes. In that moment, I really thought it had torn," he said in the podcast.
