Dortmund striker Fabio Silva was interviewed by Ruhr News, denied that he had concealed his surgery history.

Fabio Silva only transferred to Dortmund this summer, but he still failed to play due to injury. Some people believe that the Portuguese striker concealed his surgery history, and the players have now refuted this.

Fabio Silva said: "The actual situation is not as described by the media. Indeed, I had an operation last season. But I never intended to hide anything, and at that time, I was a Wolves player. At that time, I decided with the club and my team not to disclose the specific details about the injury or the surgery."

"When the contact with Dortmund became more in-depth, the operation was already more than two months ago, and the focus was on showing them that despite other options and rumors, I was very eager to transfer to Dortmund. It was clear that I could not play immediately."
