Dortmund fear Schlotterbeck has suffered serious injury

The early prognoses from BVB head coach Nuri Sahin, sporting chief Sebastian Kehl, and squad captain Emre Can regarding Nico Schlotterbeck's injury last night were far from optimistic.

Stretchered off in the final moments of last night's UCL loss to visiting Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund central defender Nico Schlotterbeck could be set for a very long spell on the sidelines.

BVB trainer Nuri Sahin, club personnel boss Sebastian Kehl and squad captain Emré Can all offered up words of serious concern following the full-time whistle. 

"The sight was terrible," Sahin remarked at the post-match presser, "We have to deal with this shock. If you look at the images, it doesn't look good. A sleepless night awaits." 

"His foot is thickly bandaged," BVB sporing director Kehl added in the mixed zone, "We'll await the diagnosis tomorrow." 

"He was in a lot of pain on the pitch," Can said in his post-match interview with German broadcaster DAZN, "I hope it's not too bad."
