Borussia Dortmund will have to do without their best attacker, Karim Adeyemi, for at least three weeks.
As the Bundesliga club announced on Monday, the 21-year-old tore a muscle fiber in the 4-1 (2-0) win over Hertha BSC.
This means that the fast winger will follow second in the table in key games such as the top game in the Bundesliga on March 3rd.
Dortmund - March against RB Leipzig and also in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League on March 7th at Chelsea are missing.
Adeyemi was substituted after 35 minutes on Sunday when BVB was 2-0 up against Hertha BSC.
The scorer for the 1-0 had grabbed his thigh when he made the 2-0 and left the lawn a short time later.
His absence dampens the friends of Dortmund about the splendid start to the new year with eight competitive wins in a row.
After all, the professional, who was signed from Salzburg last summer, was in impressive form recently and last Wednesday caused a sensation in the 1-0 win in the first leg against Chelsea with a goal worth seeing.
