DORTMUND, Germany --

Team doctor Markus Braun estimated the player's recovery period.
Sahin has been plagued by knee problems since Dortmund's preparations for the season began, initially with knee capsule irritation then tendinitis. He is yet to play a competitive game this season.
Sahin has made 49 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund, scoring five goals and setting up six more, since his return from Real Madrid in January 2013.
