That was confirmed by an MRI scan on Wednesday night. Volland has already started his rehab at the Werkstatt facility at the BayArena.

"Of course, it brings you down at first. But that doesn't help at all. I won't let my head drop, I'll focus on the rehab and do all I can to get fit again as soon as possible."
