Papastathopoulos out for fortnight with fibular break

Dortmund - Borussia Dortmund's first win in the Bundesliga since mid-September came at a price with Sokratis Papastathopoulos breaking his fibular.

Two-week break

The Greek defender was helped off the field with just five minutes of the game remaining and an x-ray carried out on Sunday night revealed the break.

According to club doctor Markus Braun, the break is a clean and uncomplicated one, meaning the 26-year-old should be back on his feet and in action again following the two-week international break, probably in time for the UEFA Champions League tie with Arsenal FC in London. The Greek warrior cannot play a part in Dortmund's next Bundesliga game against SC Paderborn no matter how quickly he recovers. His fifth yellow card of the season against the Foals means he misses that game due to suspension, giving him a few more days to recover full fitness.
