Can Uzun faces a spell on the sidelines after being forced off in Eintracht Frankfurt's 1-1 draw with 1. FC Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday. 

Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed on Sunday that the highly-rated 19-year-old has suffered a muscle injury. 

As a result, Uzun will be “out of action for the time being," the Bundesliga club added. 

Uzun has been a key player for Die Adler so far this season, racking up six goals and four assists in 14 games in all competitions.

Update (23:42pm): Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg has been informed that the Turkish star will be sidelined for up to five weeks - a return against Barcelona on December 9 is the aim.
