BVB star Sabitzer will be out for several weeks after a serious knee injury

In a dramatic turn of events, BVB star Marcel Sabitzer suffered a serious knee injury in Saturday's game against RB Leipzig (0-2). How oe24.at According to reports, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is expected to be out for four to six weeks. The exact severity of the injury has not yet been fully clarified, but a torn medial ligament in the right knee was diagnosed. Sabitzer had to be taken out of the game in the first half after he twisted his knee while trying to clear the ball and sank painfully to the ground.

The 28-year-old will have to complete rehabilitation training over the next four weeks, which will also make it impossible for him to take part in the Austrian national team's Nations League play-offs against Serbia. Loud sport.sky.de Coach Niko Kovac said after the game that he was unsure how serious the injury actually was and emphasized that they had to wait for the necessary examinations. This injury comes at a bad time as BVB now has to face FC Barcelona in the Champions League and face Bayern in the Bundesliga classic. Sabitzer's absence could further aggravate the already tense situation in the team.
