Mats Hummels injury updates for Borussia Dortmund
Mats Hummels, the German defender who plays for Borussia Dortmund and Germany national team, has been sidelined with an injury that is expected to keep him out for several months.
Hummels sustained an ankle injury during the team's training session on Monday and it was announced by the club that he will be missing the upcoming games against Wolfsburg and Stuttgart. The exact duration of his absence remains unknown but it is expected to be at least six weeks.
The injury comes as a setback for the club as they were hoping to secure a spot in the Champions League group stage after finishing second in the Bundesliga last season. However, the absence of Hummels could have a significant impact on their chances of achieving that goal.
In addition to his injury, Hummels also missed out on the World Cup due to a knee injury suffered earlier this year. His absence from both tournaments has raised questions about his fitness and his future with the club.
Despite the setbacks, Dortmund manager Lucien Favre has expressed confidence in his team's ability to cope without Hummels. He said: "We will try to make up for his absence with other players, but we can't afford to lose too many key players."
However, the club will need to find ways to manage without Hummels while also preparing for the upcoming season. They will need to focus on recruiting new talent to fill the void left by his departure, and also work on improving the performances of the players currently available to them.
Overall, Hummels' injury is a major blow to the club and their chances of success in the coming seasons. But with the right approach and determination, they can still turn things around and achieve their goals.
