Dortmund's "Borussia" club is slowly safeguarding Ilkay Gündogan's spinal injury thread - the footballer will have to miss a month without football.

One of Jurgen Klopp's team leaders on the field has not appeared since August 14, when he was replaced in a friendly match between the German and Paraguayan national teams.

On Tuesday, he underwent medical tests, after which it was revealed that the spinal healing is progressing very slowly, so the team doctor said that the player's rehabilitation period will last about a month.

So far, I. Gündogan's teammates have no problems - "Borussia" has won three out of three possible victories and leads the "Bundesliga" championship with 9 points.
