Borussia Dortmund's hopes of winning the German Bundesliga have suffered a setback after defender Neven Subotic was ruled out for the season.
The Serbia international, 24, was carried off on a stretcher during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg.
Dortmund, second behind Bayern Munich in the table, have confirmed Subotic tore cruciate knee ligaments and will be out for at least six months.
"Don麓t worry. I'll come back stronger," Subotic told Dortmund's website.
A added: "According to BVB team doctor Markus Braun, Neven will be sidelined for at least six months.
"Subotic sustained the injury in a tackle with Ivica Olic, but the Wolfsburg player cannot be blamed for it."
Having lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal in the Champions League on 6 November, Dortmund have lost their last two matches.
Their next game after the international break is at home to leaders Bayern Munich on 23 November.
