Wolfsburg defender Peter van der Heyden faces a new spell on the sidelines through injury.

Wolfsburg defender Peter van der Heyden faces a new spell on the sidelines through injury.

The Belgian international picked up an ankle injury during his side's goalless draw with Schalke at the weekend.

Tests have shown the full extent of the injury and the 29-year-old is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks with the problem.

The news is a blow for Van der Heyden as he had only recently returned to action after sustaining a knee injury on his debut in August.
