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."
