Borussia Dortmund hopeful over Marcel Schmelzer injury

Borussia Dortmund have announced that Marcel Schmelzer could miss just one game after tearing muscle fibres against Juventus.

Schmelzer, 27, was substituted at half-time during the 3-0 Champions League defeat at the Westfalenstadion after sustaining the injury.

However, although he is set to be ruled out until next month, the German defender is set to miss only one game for Dortmund -- Saturday's trip to Hannover -- due to the upcoming international break.

Dortmund said on their official website: "The club's medical department is working hard to get Schmelzer fit for the club's first home game after the international break against Bayern Munich on 4 April."
