Thiago suffers torn ankle ligament

Thiago faces several weeks on the sidelines. The Spain international tore the lateral collateral ligament and the articular capsule in his right ankle in the DFB Cup tie against the Regional League side SV Rödinghausen (2-1). That was the diagnosis by the club doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt on Wednesday after returning from Osnabrück.

Thiago, who has played in 14 out of 15 games this season, was substituted on 75 minutes on Tuesday night as the result of a foul.
