Dortmund's Nmecha expected out for weeks with ligament injury

Borussia Dortmund's midfielder Felix Nmecha will be sidelined for several weeks due to a ligament injury sustained during a Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen. Interim coach Mike Tullberg confirmed the injury, which will prevent Nmecha from participating in crucial upcoming matches, including the last match of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Shakhtar Donetsk. Dortmund's recent form has been poor, winning only one of their last ten games, and they currently sit 14th in the league standings. The team is looking to regain confidence amid a coaching change and injuries to key players, while also seeking to qualify for the top eight in the Champions League. Despite the setback, Tullberg mentioned that Dortmund has options in the squad to fill Nmecha's role. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel emphasized the need for the team to overcome this difficult phase.
