Forward out for four weeks with calf injury

Borussia Dortmund striker Alexander Frei has suffered another injury setback, after tearing a calf muscle. The Switzerland international suffered the injury while training with the national side and could face a month on the sidelines. The 28-year-old has not featured in the Bundesliga since May, and was due to make his comeback in Saturday's game against Werder Bremen. But Frei now faces several weeks out, and he explained that the injury is a massive blow to morale. "I could cry. It is sad that I have to go into rehab for three or four weeks," he said.
