Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus Out For Several Months

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed winger Marco Reus partially tore his cruciate ligament in Saturday's German Cup final - a set-back which could sideline him for months.

Reus suffered the injury in the first half of Dortmund's 2-1 German Cup final win over Eintracht Frankfurt in Berlin on Saturday. With his leg heavily strapped, he ran on after the final whistle to celebrate with the team. Dortmund's cup win was the first title of Reus' career, but bad luck has blighted him in recent years and Monday's news is a fresh setback for the Germany star. 

The club released a statement saying “In the coming days, there will be further tests and a decision will be made on the necessary treatment, Borussia Dortmund will not be able to make a precise prediction about his possible downtime and we wish our 'cup winner' a speedy recovery.”
