The Germany playmaker is being patient after a metabolic disorder was discovered during recent tests
Mario Gotze's father says there is little the Borussia Dortmund playmaker can do until a treatment plan for his metabolic issues has been devised.
He revealed that a strategy to treat the problem, which is keeping his son out of action indefinitely, will be established soon.
Gotze has not played in any of Dortmund's last seven matches after a metabolic disorder was discovered via thorough tests that had been ordered to investigate repeated muscular problems suffered by the 24-year-old.
"At the moment Mario is OK but there is not much he can do besides sitting at home and waiting," father Jurgen Gotze told Bild.
