Maximilian Mittelstädt suffered an injury during VfB Stuttgart’s 2-0 win over SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
As Stuttgart announced after the game, the left-back sustained a laceration to his right heel during a challenge.
As a result, Mittelstädt required stitches after the match and will be sidelined “for the time being”, the club confirmed.
The 29-year-old has featured in every competitive match for Stuttgart so far this season across the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League and DFB-Pokal.
Stuttgart will continue their campaign with an away trip to face Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Wednesday.
