Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller will be out for up to five weeks due to a knee injury.

Coach Juergen Klopp said Monday that Weidenfeller required stitches for a deep flesh wound from an on-field collision during Dortmund's 3-2 victory at Cologne on Sunday.

Weidenfeller was substituted in the 20th minute, and Dortmund says he is expected to be out for four or five weeks.

He was sidelined for two weeks at the beginning of last season with a similar injury
