On Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund's interim coach, Mike Tullberg, announced at a press conference that Felix Nmecha will be sidelined for several weeks with the knee injury he suffered against Werder Bremen at the weekend.

Bild reported earlier on Tuesday that Dortmund want to react to the injury by recalling Salih Özcan from his loan spell at VfL Wolfsburg to provide cover in defensive midfield - and Tullberg confirmed this at his press conference.

“I can confirm that it's our plan to bring him back,” said the Danish coach.

The Turkey international has played just 376 minutes in 12 appearances for Wolfsburg since moving to the Volkswagen Arena last summer.
