Mats Hummels, the defender for Borussia Dortmund, has been ruled out for at least two weeks with a knee injury.
The German international suffered the injury during training on Monday and is expected to be sidelined until mid-December.
Hummels was named in Germany's squad for the World Cup last year but has struggled with injuries since then. He made his debut for Dortmund in September and has since become a key player for the club.
His absence will be a blow to Dortmund as they look to defend their Bundesliga title this season. The team will have to rely on their other defenders, such as Achraf Hakimi and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting,La Liga Frontline to fill in for Hummels.
However, it is not clear if Hummels will be able to return to full fitness in time for the start of the new year. This could potentially impact Dortmund's chances of winning the league or making it to the Champions League knockout stages.
Regardless, Hummels' injury is a setback for Borussia Dortmund and fans will hope that he can recover quickly and make a full recovery before the end of the season.
