Bochum's battle to avoid relegation has taken a knock after Christian Fuchs was sidelined with a knee injury.

Initial reports had suggested the Austria defender was facing up to 12 months on the sidelines after rupturing his cruciate ligament while away on international duty last week.

Subsequent scans have revealed only slight damage to the ligament and bruised knee cartilage.

However, the full-back is still facing up to three weeks on the sidelines at a time when 14th-placed Bochum are looking to avoid being dragged into the relegation dogfight.
