Borussia Dortmund confirm in-form striker Karim Adeyemi is OUT for 'about three weeks' after tearing a muscle fibre against Hertha Berlin... handing the German outfit a major blow ahead of their Champions League second leg against Chelsea

Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi is set for a 'three-week' spell on the sidelines after tearing a muscle fibre against Hertha Berlin and is therefore a doubt to face Chelsea in the Champions League last-16 second leg next month.

The in-form forward bagged the only goal of the first leg as Dortmund edged out a 1-0 win at the Signal Iduna Park last week, piling more misery on what has been a difficult season for Chelsea fans.

Graham Potter's side continued their losing run with a shock 1-0 defeat against rock-bottom Southampton at the weekend, staying put in 10th behind Brentford.
