Uduokhai out long-term following serious bone fracture

German footballing magazine Kicker has learned that FC Augsburg starter and Germany U21 international Felix Uduokhai will be out at least four months after breaking his syndesmosis.
Bitter news for FC Augsburg as, German footballing magazine Kicker reports, Felix Uduokhai will miss at least four months and possibly the entire Hin-Runde with a broken syndesmosis. The 24-year-old's ankle fracture was apparently incurred during Saturday's 1-2 loss to Mainz.

Udoukhai started and played the full 90 minutes in all four of Augsburg's competitive fixtures this year. The German U21 international was an integral part of head-coach Enrico Maaßen's back-three, which will now need serious revision. 

With Reece Oxford also out injured, Uduokhai's most likely immediate replacement will be Danish center-halve Frederik Winther.
