Can faces extended spell on the sidelines

Borussia Dortmund will have to do without Emre Can for an extended period. The BVB captain suffered a cruciate ligament tear in his left knee during the Bundesliga match against FC Bayern Munich and will be out of action for several months.

BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl said: “Emre’s injury is a bitter one to swallow, not only for him but for all of us. He is our captain, always puts himself at the service of the team and is an important part of our club. Emre will receive every support from us over the coming months so that he can make a full recovery.”
