Stuttgart have suffered another blow following their 3-1 Champions League defeat against Seville on Tuesday evening.

Brazilian striker Jeronimo Baretto Cacau went to ground after the hour mark with no players around him and it has since been revealed that he has suffered a hip muscle injury.

The 28-year-old attacker is expected to be on the sidelines for a month.

Stuttgart's team doctor examined the star man on Wednesday afternoon and a small tear has been diagnosed which only adds to head coach Markus Babbel's problems as his team currently sits 13th in the Bundesliga.

They have also failed to win any of their opening three Champions League matches.
