Karim Adeyemi set to miss Dortmund's UCL second leg clash against Chelsea

Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi will be out of action for the next three weeks after sustaining an injury in Dortmund's 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday, February 19.

The 21-year-old suffered a thigh injury, the club has confirmed. He was subbed off in the 35th minute after putting his side ahead in the 27th minute.

The in-form winger also assisted Dortmund's second goal as Donyell Malen doubled the lead for Der BVB.

“Karim Adeyemi tore a muscle fibre during Sunday’s game against Hertha Berlin,” the club wrote in a tweet.

“He will not be available for about three weeks. Get well soon.”

Adeyemi has been instrumental to the Dortmund team this season. The young winger has managed 3 goals and an assist in his last 3 games.

He will miss Dortmund's second-leg clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after giving his side a 1-0 advantage at Signal Iduna Park last week.
