Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic is set for around three to four weeks on the sidelines after suffering a muscular issue whilst playing for USA during the international break.

 Speaking ahead of his side’s clash with Wolfsburg this weekend, Lucien Favre confirmed the American was set for a spell on the sidelines.

As quoted by the club’s official twitter account, Favre explained: “The boys have come back fit from the international break. Only Pulisic, unfortunately, has returned with a pulled muscle in his leg.”

According to ​ESPN, he later added: “He will definitely not play.”

But sporting director Michael Zorc was optimistic about ​Dortmund’s chances heading into the clash and the final rounds of the league, affirming: “The team is showing that they absolutely want to win.”
