Borussia Dortmund's Latest Injury Update: Mats Hummels' Status Continues to Be Uncertain
Borussia Dortmund has announced that midfielder Mats Hummels will be out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury sustained in training on Monday.
The club have confirmed that Hummels will not be available for any further training sessions this week and will miss the entire campaign.
It is unclear exactly how long he will be out, but it is likely to be a significant setback for Dortmund as they look to build on their impressive start to the season last season when they finished third in the Bundesliga table.

While Hummels' absence is undoubtedly a blow,United Vitality Sports Circle the club still have other options at the position. They have already signed a new midfielder in the form of Christian Pulisic from Manchester United, and have also made some signings elsewhere in the transfer market.
Injuries can happen in sports, and it is important for clubs to be prepared for them. Borussia Dortmund may face a difficult winter as they try to find a way to overcome the challenges that come with injuries and rebuild their squad for the coming season.
