Berlin (AP) - Sheraldo Becker from 1. FC Union Berlin did not suffer any structural injuries to bones or tendons in the Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen (1-0), according to manager Oliver Ruhnert.
A use of the 25-year-old attacker, who last scored against Bremen and Wolfsburg, in the next game at RB Leipzig next Wednesday is rather unlikely.
"I do not think that it will be out for too long, but it is unlikely that it will be available very soon," said Ruhnert on Saturday.
Becker had been substituted for the later winning goal scorer Cedric Teuchert because of the ankle injury on Friday evening in the first half.
The Dutchman is already the fourth failure of the Berlin
Bundesliga club in attack.
Max Kruse (torn muscle bundle), Joel Pohjanpalo (broken foot) and Anthony Ujah (long knee problems) have also been absent for a long time.
Ruhnert announced that Union was about to sign offensive player Leon Dajaku from Bayern.
