Dortmund’s Philipp sidelined with knee injury
Berlin, Dec 6 (IANS) Borussia Dortmund’s Maximilian Philipp will face a lengthy spell at the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury, the Bundesliga club confirmed in an official statement.
The 23-year-old striker fell on his knee and had to be carted off the pitch early in the game against Bayer Leverkusen, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate, reports Xinhua news agency.
Philipp was replaced by Andre Schuerrle and will be out of action for “several months”. According to the club’s statement on Tuesday the summer signing suffered a serious injury to his kneecap.
The striker joined from Freiburg in the summer 2017 to score six goals in eleven appearances ever since. He is after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the second-best goal-scorer at the “BVB”.
Struggling Dortmund, who wait for a victory since October 28 in all competitions, sit currently on the sixth place of the Bundesliga standings. They clash with bottom side Werder Bremen at the 15th round of Saturday.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
