Borussia Dortmund have confirmed plans to speak with Felix Nmecha following criticism of his links with Christian network Ballers in God.

Dortmund's Fan and Supporters Department subsequently raised concerns about the network's values, citing investigations by German broadcasters.

Responding to Kicker, the club defended religious freedom while stressing the importance of mutual respect and its shared values.

Dortmund also promised to address supporters' concerns through discussions with Nmecha.

According to Kicker, the Bundesliga outfit have removed social media photographs showing the midfielder using symbols associated with Ballers in God and avoided publishing images of his latest celebrations.
