Significant loss for Borussia Dortmund. Two days after drawing with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga (1-1), and one week away from a crucial matchup against PSG in the Champions League semifinals, the Ruhr Valley club suffers a significant setback. According to L'Equipe, Sébastien Haller may not recover in time for the matches against Luis Enrique's team on May 1 and 7.

Haller suffered an ankle injury after the Africa Cup of Nations, where he was the hero of the Ivory Coast. The striker returned to the pitch on April 13 to face Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Two to three weeks of absence for Haller

Unfortunately, this first start with Dortmund since September did not go as planned, as Sébastien Haller reinjured himself. Absent in the double header won by Borussia Dortmund against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, the former Ajax Amsterdam player is expected to observe a three-week convalescence, according to the French sports newspaper.

Accustomed to playing without his 29-year-old forward, Edin Terzic will likely continue to field Niklas Füllkrug as the spearhead of his attack in upcoming matches. The German international, who joined the Ruhr Valley club last summer, has scored 14 goals in 38 games across all competitions this season.
