Xherdan Shaqiri suffered exactly the same injury while representing Switzerland two weeks ago and will be out of action for around the same length of time as Pizarro. A little earlier, in mid-November, Thiagocould be fit enough to resume squad training. The Spaniard ruptured syndesmosis ankle ligaments in late August and underwent surgery, but took the first tentative steps towards a comeback with a gentle jogging session last Thursday.
Dante has been out of contention for a week after sustaining a deep gash to his left ankle in last Saturday’s home meeting with Mainz. The injury was immediately stitched at the time, and he could yet be fit enough for next weekend’s league fixture. By contrast, Holger Badstuber (cruciate) still has a long way to go on the road to recovery.
On a positive note, Javi Martínez came on as a substitute in the 3-2 victory over Hertha, celebrating his return to the team two months after groin surgery.
