Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin's knee problems will not keep him sidelined for long, with a return to action in just 14 days a real possibility for the Turkey international.

An examination in the Westfalen clinic in Dortmund-Brackel this morning revealed that Sahin will only be ruled out for a fortnight with the injury he sustained in yesterday's 4-1 Bundesliga victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Sahin's convincing performance alongside his team-mates in the first half of that Matchday 13 clash paved the way for Borussia Dortmund to extend their unbeaten streak at home to 28 league matches.
