Marcel Schmelzer: Partial tear to ligament in ankle

BVB Captain Marcel Schmelzer suffered a partial tear to the lateral collateral ligament in his ankle on Saturday against SC Freiburg, and will be out injured for around six weeks.

Schmelzer was making his comeback on Saturday after a seven week long enforced break due to just such an injury, before he was injured in the 27' minute by Freiburg player Ravet.

Marc Bartra, who likewise had to come off, has a muscular problem in his adductor area.
