Affected in an ankle, Sébastien Haller should miss the double confrontation between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
It will happen very quickly. There are only two weeks between the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League, so Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund have looked very quickly towards their upcoming double clash.
On the German side, the big concern concerns Sébastien Haller. The former AJ Auxerre player injured an ankle, and his sprain should require around three weeks of convalescence, indicates L’Equipe. As he was injured on April 13, the center forward has very little chance of being able to face Paris on May 1 and 7, even if a small hope remains for the return match.
Haller, no goals in the Bundesliga this season
For Borussia, it is necessarily a hard blow, even if Edin Terzic’s team has unfortunately become accustomed to playing without its center forward, who has often been injured this season. Haller has only made 14 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, for a total of 388 minutes (the equivalent of a little over four entire matches), and his statistics are quite poor, with no goals and only one assist on the clock. in the championship.
But Haller can be a man of big events, we saw him in January during the African Cup of Nations won with Ivory Coast. We also remember his 11-goal season in the Champions League with Ajax in 2021-2022. And his goal in the first leg on Atlético’s field (2-1), while Antoine Griezmann’s team led 2-0, allowed Dortmund to approach the return match (4-2) in a better position. Against Paris, we will undoubtedly have to do without him, with probably the solid Niklas Füllkrug at the forefront of the attack.
