BVB centre-back Neven Subotic has undergone a successful operation on his knee. The surgery, performed by Prof. Michael Strobel (Sporthopaedicum Straubing) at Isar Park Hospital in Plattling on Wednesday, lasted one and a half hours and required the anatomic reconstruction of the intraarticular ligament and the complete posterior capsule.

A decision on whether the posterior cruciate ligament will also require surgery will be made in two months´ time.
Subotic sustained the injury after a fair challenge with Ivica Olica in Saturday´s Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg. The Dortmund defender stayed optimistic after learning the extent of the injury, saying: "Don´t worry! I will come back even stronger!"
