Erling Haaland facing 'weeks' out with hip injury

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is facing another spell on the sidelines with a hip injury.

The Norwegian goalscoring sensation had only made his return after three games out with a muscle issue in the 3-1 Bundesliga victory over Mainz at the weekend, where he scored a brace.

Haaland also played the full 90 minutes in Dortmund's 4-0 drubbing by Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

However, speaking ahead of BVB's league trip to Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday, head coach Marco Rose revealed the 20-year-old has now injured his hip flexor and is set for another spell on the sidelines alongside full-backs Thomas Meunier and Nico Schulz.

“Thomas Meunier won't be able to play, Nico Schulz has a torn hamstring and Erling Haaland won't play and will be absent for a few weeks with a hip flexor injury.
