Kyle: Chuk Umeka will play in Dortmund until the end of the Club World Cup, and has already negotiated with Chelsea

Dortmund director Sebastian Kyle confirmed that the club is close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea, allowing Chuk Umeka to continue to play for the team until the end of the Club World Cup journey.

Kyle said: "There is good news about Chukwumeka. I have completed negotiations with Chelsea and reached an agreement in principle. As long as Dortmund is still in the Club World Cup, he can continue to stay in the team. At present, only the procedures are to be completed, but we are very confident that we can continue to see him in a yellow and black battle suit." The problem that Dortmund faced before was that Chukwumeka's loan contract should have expired on June 30. This means that the player will miss the 1/8 final. But now Kyle has brought positive signals, which means the problem has been solved.
