Karim Bellarabi faces long layoff
Bayer 04 forward Karim Bellarabi faces a long spell on the sidelines.
The Germany international suffered a torn groin muscle in the first Bundesliga home game for the Werkself against Hamburg SV. That was the diagnosis from an MRI scan on Saturday night at the Cologne Media Park Clinic carried out by Bayer 04 club doctor Dr Burak Yildirim. Head coach Roger Schmidt will be without the services of Bellarabi for the next few weeks.
