A painful blow to Dortmund .. Halland is the reason
Norwegian international Erling Haaland will miss "a few weeks" of competition, Borussia Dortmund coach announced on Friday, which constitutes a major setback for the German team, which relies a lot on its young star.
Marco Rose said during a press conference on the sidelines of his team's match against its host Armenia Bielefeld in the league on Saturday that Haaland "will miss a few weeks due to a hip injury," adding that his return "will take a little time."
The 21-year-old played the full match in which Dortmund suffered a tough loss with a clean four against Ajax in Amsterdam on Wednesday in the Champions League.
"It's time to focus on the recovery process. I will come back stronger," Haaland wrote on his Twitter account.
This injury is considered a major blow to Dortmund, who is ranked second in the Bundesliga, one point behind leaders Bayern Munich, while the Norwegian shares the top scorer with Poland's Robert Lewandowski, the Bavarian team's top scorer with nine goals.
