Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl confirmed on Sunday morning that Reus is expected to miss around three to four weeks, but that the German’s injury isn’t as bad as first feared. Kehl stated that further medical tests confirmed that Reus suffered an ankle ligament injury, and not a fracture.
