Dortmund defender Zagadou suffers knee ligament injury in training

Central defender Dan-Axel Zagadou has injured the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee in training, Borussia Dortmund have announced.

Dortmund players have been training in small groups as they wait for a date for the Bundesliga season to resume, with football on hold in Germany due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bundesliga clubs are set to meet on April 23 to discuss a potential return to action, while Zagadou will now begin rehabilitation in a bid to be available to play again this season.
