Timothy Fosu-Mensah has endured a tough start to life at Bayer Leverkusen after the defender suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was forced off before half-time during the Bundesliga side's defeat by Freiburg on Sunday and the club confirmed he had torn his ACL on Monday afternoon.
The Dutch international was making just his sixth league appearance since completing his £1.8m move from Manchester United in January.
However, he is now set for a spell on the sidelines, and Bayer confirmed the player is now facing an operation.
