Belgian international midfielder Axel Witsel will miss Borussia Dortmund, the third German football league until the end of the year, after suffering a facial injury as a result of falling at his home.
The Sky Sport network reported that the thirty-year-old entered the emergency and underwent surgery before returning to his home this morning.
Vetsel will thus miss the crucial match for Dortmund against the Czech Slavia Prague tomorrow, Tuesday, in the last round of the group stage of the Champions League, where the German team needs to win to qualify, provided that Inter Milan does not win at Barcelona, Spain (it also qualifies in the event of a draw and Inter loss ).
Dortmund will also miss the Belgian's efforts in his last three domestic league matches before the traditional winter break.
Dortmund coach Lucien Favre said that what happened with Vettel "is unfortunate for him, unfortunate for us, but nothing can be done." All we hope is that he will quickly return »to his team, which is currently in third place, 5 points behind leaders Borussia Monchengladbach.
