Bayer 04 Leverkusen midfielder Simon Rolfes is set to miss the rest of pre-season preparations after tearing a muscle in his knee.
The Germany international was forced to leave the Leverkusen training camp in Borkum, northern Germany, in order to undergo surgery as soon as possible. He is likely to be out for four weeks.
Race to be fit
Rolfes now faces a race to be fit for the new season and there are serious question marks over whether he will be able to participate in Bayer's first competitive match of the season, a DFB Cup match against SV Babelsberg 03 in the first week of August. The injury comes as a blow to head coach Jupp Heynckes, who is focused on getting his new squad ready for the Bundesliga kick-off on 8 August.
