Bundesliga club Kaiserslautern says striker Adam Nemec will be out of action for three months as he recovers from injuries sustained when he fell out of a cherry tree.

Kaiserslautern said Tuesday that the 25-year-old Slovak fractured two vertebrae and his collarbone as well as suffering concussion. He will undergo an operation on the collarbone injury.

The club said Nemec suffered the injuries in his garden on Monday evening.

Nemec played 24 Bundesliga matches for Kaiserslautern last season and scored three goals.
