Daily mail reporting he's been ruled out indefinitely with a metabolic disorder.
Doesn't sound good - wishing him all the best and hopefully a recovery!!

Mario Götze | WELT: Should be back in training at some point in July
- Thread starter Heardy
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
WTF is a "metabolic disorder"?
Very sad for him. Hopefully he comes back stronger.

Never heard of it. Wonder if that is one of the main causes for his form to dip so much.
Poor sod. Unfortune condition.
Can we have a medical profession on here come in and explain this to us mere mortals?
Cheers @Damien on my phone so struggled with the link.
I read that it causes as enzyme deficiency but no idea what that means in reality.
Either way, doesn't sound good when they're saying it has rendered it absolute necessary that he has to stop all form of training.

Poor Mario. It's treatable but must be going through some rough stages for that to take place.

It's very unspecific. It's like saying someone has "an infection", which could mean a common cold or always fatal rabies.
Most are genetically inherited conditions, in which the body fails to produce a necessary enzime to metabolize a given substance, which will then accumulate and cause harm. The blood test done in newborn kids has the purpose of screening for a few of these, as if you know which they are you can then change the diet of the child to avoid the nutrient that accumulates before it causes irreparable harm.
They're hundreds or thousands of different diseases though, some always fatal in childhood, some that progress slowly throughout life and cause increasing problems and some that don't affect life expectancy at all and are a mere biochemical curiosity.
It may as well refer to common coditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol.
No idea what they mean here in particular, and the implications are a guesswork.

Hope he has a speedy recovery.
Wasn't he renowned for liking his Mcds when at Bayern? If true surely that won't help?

Wishing him all the best in his recovery, he's a great player and I hope to see him fit and healthy at his best soon.

What exactly did they diagnose him with?
Metabolic disorder.
I don't mean any offense, but maybe that's why he's always looked slightly chubby? Hope he recovers quickly!
Wish him the best, know from personal experiences that problems with metabolism, intolerances to food etc if undiagnosed, can wreak havoc in terms of physical fitness and staying fit. If it does all go well, could come back a rejuvenated and much more influential player once again.
Drug ban swept under the carpet?
Wish him all the best.
Reading about it on the internet it sounds like something an average guy can quite easily handle in his life but for an professional athlete its catastrophic as its permanently weakening the muscles.
Hope this doesn't impact his career too much but I have a bad feeling

He was heavily criticized since his move to Bayern, but it seems now that his issues were more serious than just attitude problems or dodgy knees. 2 days ago he was ruled out by Borussia, likely at least until the end of a season, due to "metabolism problems"
From what I've read, it seems like they suspect that Götze is having either the same illness as Luis Ronaldo does (Hypothyroidism), or Myopathia metabolica, which causes muscle degradation and everything that follows - so it would explain his constant muscle injuries.
I thought it was worth sharing. I was a big fan of him at the earlier stages of his career and genuinely thought that he would turn out a better player than Neymar, but his career trajectory reminded the classic case of a teenage star who thought too much of himself and wasn't dedicated enough. It seems like I (and many others) were wrong. Hopefully he'll recover

Absolutely awful. He must be going through a very rough time.
I hope it's something you can come back from in some capacity like Fletcher did.

Myopathy is muscle disease resulting in muscle weakness. When that affects the heart muscle, it's called CardioMyopathy. If that was the case, as with any heart condition, it would mean immediate end to his professional career. So I don't believe it's that. Still, I don't know what his chances are of playing again but it's not looking good at the moment.
Hopefully he makes a comeback, everyone was writing Darren Fletcher off but he came back strong.
According to kicker Götze's illness is manageable and treatable - Zorc spoke about a "full recovery". BVB is supposedly "absolutely sure" to have found the cause, which foremost affected elasticity [not sure that's the right translation] (less stamina).
If that's true this might be a blessing in disguise for Götze and could explain why he never really delivered on the promise of his early years.

How German is that?
Hopefully he get's better, good player.
Yep. Great that it was found now when he'll still have so much of his career left than in a few years wondering what could have been.
Hope the guy can make a complete come back and carry on doing what he loves.
It's possible him looking chubby may be a side effect of steroids, which may be used to treat a myopathy.

- Has lost about five kilos.
- Begun special body training, running and keeps fit with a bike.
- WELT reckons he'll be back in training in July. Whether he'll be back for the first day of training on July 7 is questionable.
- Appeared at Neuer's wedding and seemed in good health.
- Echo: Götze and Lewandowski attended Klopp's 50th birthday party in Germany.
Yeah, in one of the links above it said the "puffy" face was a side effect of drugs used.
Will leave Dortmund on a free this summer. I honestly believed this guy would have been in contention for a future Ballon Do'r after his first few games for the German national team.
Is it a case of being ruined by injuries or were there other reasons why he didn't make it? He's only 27 as well, is that it for him or will he get one more chance at the highest level given he's on a Free?

I think the biggest thing is going to Bayern Munich when he did, he honestly should have stayed at Dortmund, he was never the same player after that, although yes injuries and the myopathy since obviously haven't helped at all.
Would be surprised if he played for a top club in the future. Best he can hope for is a decent team in a good league. Dortmund was a level too high for him
I feel sorry for him in terms of his injuries and his condition. I do wonder how many players there are that would have turned out differently depending on injury management etc. I remember listening to a podcast with Dyer and his injuries were misdiagnosed for years and probably cost him a couple of years of his career.
Hey, he still has 5 Bundesliga titles and a World Cup (including scoring in the final) so his career hasn't gone badly at all but a shame for it to go this way.

His current level is a mid/low table BuLi club. Can see him join Hertha, Werder etc.
Any chance of him getting back to something like his 2011-2014 form or is that just completely over now and the best he can hope for is to be a regular for one of these clubs?
