Mateu Morey set for long spell out with ligament injury
Mateu Morey sustained an injury to his lateral collateral, capsular and anterior cruciate ligaments during the cup tie against Holstein Kiel last Saturday. The full-back is set for a long spell on the sidelines.
Morey had an operation on his lateral collateral and capsular ligaments on Wednesday, with the ACL surgery to follow at a later date. "Given the circumstances, Mateu is doing well. He is dealing with the situation very positively," said BVB coach Edin Terzic: "The first operation went very well, but it's too early to accurately estimate how long he'll be out."
