Ivory Coast striker Sebastien Haller was ruled out for “several weeks” on Friday after the Africa Cup of Nations winner suffered a recurrence of an ankle injury, his club, Borussia Dortmund, said.
The 29-year-old, scored the game-winning goal as Ivory Coast overcame Nigeria 2-1 in the AFCON final last weekend, but was replaced late in the match.
“Examinations on Friday morning in Dortmund revealed that the ankle injury that Haller suffered against Mainz in mid-December has flared up again, and the forward will have to take another break for a while,” said a Dortmund statement.
Dortmund, who go to Wolfsburg on Saturday, are presently fourth in the Bundesliga, 15 points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
