It didn't look good for Nico Schlotterbeck when he was stretchered off late in Borussia Dortmund's 2-3 defeat to FC Barcelona on Wednesday.
However, initial scans have now revealed that the injury is not as serious as first feared.
Borussia Dortmund confirmed on Thursday that the centre-back has suffered a ligament injury that will keep him out for the time being.
Whether he will be able to play again in 2024 is currently "doubtful", the Bundesliga outfit stated.
At the very least, Schlotterbeck will miss Dortmund's home game against Hoffenheim on Sunday.
