Borussia Mönchengladbach are expected to be without Lukas Ullrich for the next six to eight weeks after the defender suffered a broken collarbone, according to Sky Germany.

Ullrich sustained the injury during the Foals’ away fixture in Hamburg, with the 22-year-old left-back now set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

As a result, Ullrich will miss the upcoming international break with Germany U21s and will also be unavailable for Borussia over the coming weeks.

The injury represents a blow to Gladbach’s defensive options, with the club expected to be without the youngster for the next six to eight weeks as he begins his recovery.
