DORTMUND, Germany — Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has been ruled out for about three weeks with a left ankle injury. Dortmund says the 21-year-old Adeyemi tore a muscle fiber in his ankle during the team's 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Adeyemi scored the opening goal with his heel and then got injured while setting up Donyell Malen for the second goal with a cross. The Germany forward went off in the 35th minute. Adeyemi had scored three goals and set up another in his last three games. He is set to miss Bundesliga games against Hoffenheim and Leipzig, the visit to Chelsea in the Champions League and the Ruhr derby against Schalke.
