FC Köln have been rocked by the news that Timo Horn will be sidelined for the rest of the year.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Mainz in the Bundesliga.

"The FC goalkeeper took a knock to the knee in first-half added time from Mainz forward Karim Onisiwo. After treatment, he was able to continue. However, an MRI scan on Monday afternoon revealed a knee injury," said the club in a statement.

Marvin Schwäbe is set to play in the absence of Horn, who has featured in every Bundesliga game for Köln so far this season.
