Barça: Nico Schlotterbeck transported to hospital

Borussia Dortmund did not have the best evening in its history on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. Beaten by FC Barcelona (3-2) at home, Nuri Şahin's team also lost Nico Schlotterbeck. The German international twisted his right ankle in the last action of the match. Evacuated from the pitch on a stretcher, he was subsequently transported to Dortmund hospital.

A hard blow for the BVB, since the 25-year-old had played all of the Champions League matches this season, in addition to 12 Bundesliga matches. “ It would be a total disaster if he was also away from the field, said Nuri Sahin. There's no diagnosis yet, but it's obvious he's completely despondent. I have seen the pictures and they are horrible. We're going to have a sleepless night tonight and we'll see how it develops tomorrow “, said Şahin after the meeting. With this setback against Barça, the Ruhr club currently occupies 9th place in the Champions League standings, two days from the end. And could surely play without Schlotterbeck, against Bologna (January 21) and Chakthar Donetsk (January 29).
