international duty, while his Monchengladbach team-
mate Nico Schulz is out for six months.
Borussia Monchengladbach have been hit by a double injury
blow, with Granit Xhaka and Nico Schulz set for spells on the
sidelines.
Xhaka suffered ankle ligament damage during Switzerland's 1-0
Euro 2016 qualifying win over Estonia on Monday.
Monchengladbach could not confirm the length of absence the
23-year-old midfielder is set to face when announcing the news
on their official website, but Schulz will be out for six months
due to a knee ligament injury.
In Friday's friendly match against MSV Duisburg, Schulz
sustained a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The injuries to Xhaka and Schulz come after news that Germany
international defender Patrick Herrmann is expect to be out until
2016 with a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Monchengladbach travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday
before resuming their Champions League campaign at Juventus
next Wednesday - a trip that comes on the back of Group D
losses to Sevilla and Manchester City.
