German defender Nico Schulz under investigation for domestic violence
Media reports emerged recently alleging that Schulz, capped 12 times by Germany since 2018, had assaulted his former partner in 2020 while she was pregnant with his daughter. German tabloid Bild ran images of text messages allegedly sent by Schulz, where he acknowledges his actions and apologises for his behaviour, along with pictures purportedly showing injuries to Schulz and his former partner.
Dortmund issued a statement saying they only became aware of the “extremely serious and shocking ” allegations through media reports. They added that they had not yet taken disciplinary action against Schulz as the situation was “extremely unclear”.
“However, we reserve the right to do so at any time when we objectively know more,” the statement read. According to the statement, Schulz denies the claims, telling Dortmund “that he will defend himself against these allegations with the help of a lawyer and that he will also maintain his innocence”
