Borussia Dortmund’s newly signed forward, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, will
be out for four weeks after injuring his ankle in a friendly.
The Bundesliga club says Mkhitaryan twisted his right ankle and
partially tore a tendon shortly after scoring the third goal in
Dortmund’s 4-1 win over FC Luzern in a friendly in Switzerland
on Tuesday.
Mkhitaryan has scored in both friendlies since joining Dortmund. The
Armenia international completed his transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk
last week and signed a four-year deal.
He was signed to replace Mario Goetze, who moved to Bayern Munich,
which beat Dortmund in the Champions League final.
Mkhitaryan could miss the Bundesliga season-opener on Aug. 10 against
Augsburg.
