"Borussia" leader M. Reus will not be able to play for three months.

Dortmund's "Borussia" club received even worse news about Marco Reus's injury than was initially thought. It has been reported that the 25-year-old footballer will be unable to play for three months.

The German was supposed to participate in the World Cup starting on Thursday with the national team, but he suffered a groin injury during a friendly match against Armenia.

Initially, it was thought that M. Reus would be able to return to the field after one month, but the country's attacker will have to miss the start of the German "Bundesliga" season.

Doctor Markus Braun hopes that Marco Reus will recover after three months," it is written on the official "Borussia" club website.

M. Reus demonstrated impressive athletic form last season. He scored 23 goals in 43 matches against opponent goalkeepers.
