Hamburger SV will have to manage without Sambi Lokonga for some time.

The North German side announced on Monday evening that the central midfielder suffered a lateral ankle ligament tear in Saturday's 2-0 away win over Heidenheim.

As a result of the injury, Lokonga is expected to be out for a couple of weeks.

The 26-year-old has featured 16 times in the Bundesliga, scoring four goals, following his move from Arsenal last summer.
