"In the coming days, there will be further tests and a decision will be made on the necessary treatment," the club said on their website. (www.bvb.de)

"Borussia Dortmund will not be able to make a precise prediction about his possible downtime and we wish our 'cup winner' a speedy recovery."

Reus was already omitted from the Germany squad for next month's Confederation Cup in Russia.
