Julian Weigl faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a fractured ankle in Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Augsburg on Saturday.
The young midfielder stayed on the ground after a duel with Philipp Max in the first half at Augsburg Arena and was carried off on a stretcher, Erik Durm taking his place.
Dortmund have now provided an update on the 21-year-old's situation.
"Julian Weigl has unfortunately fractured his ankle and will be unavailable for three to four months," a tweet from BVB reads.
"Get well soon!"
hat sich leider das Sprunggelenk gebrochen und fällt 3-4 Monate aus! Gute Besserung, Jule! May 13, 2017
Weigl's ankle injury means he will miss the DFB Pokal final against Eintracht Frankfurt and is unlikely to return until the 2017-18 campaign is underway.
The holding midfielder has made 43 appearances in all competitions this term, scoring once.
