According to the club’s doctors, the expected recovery time is one month. This news is a major setback for Hansi Flick’s plans, as he is losing one of his most important playmakers in midfield during a crucial phase of the season.

The Canary Islander had to leave the pitch after feeling a pull in his thigh muscle. Although he tried to continue playing, it didn’t feel right and he had to be substituted shortly afterwards.

The club aims for the midfielder to be available again by the end of February, provided his recovery goes according to plan. At the moment, absolute caution is the top priority to avoid a relapse in an area that has already caused him problems in the past.
