MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany (AP) — Ivory Coast hero Sébastien Haller’s first start for Borussia Dortmund since winning the Africa Cup of Nations lasted just eight minutes. Haller had to go off early in Dortmund’s Bundesliga match at Borussia Mönchengladbach after twisting his left leg in a tackle with an opponent. Haller had made only substitute appearances for Dortmund since returning from the Africa Cup with an ankle injury, and he scored a late goal to keep Dortmund’s Champions League hopes alive in a 2-1 loss at Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their quarterfinal on Wednesday. But his ill luck with injuries struck again Saturday when he was tackled in the second minute by Gladbach defender Nico Elvedi. Haller received treatment on the field before making way for Youssoufa Moukoko. The extent of Haller’s injury wasn’t immediately known. The forward spoke with Dortmund coach Edin Terzić before making his way to the dressing room. Haller scored late to lead host nation Ivory Coast to the Africa Cup of Nations title with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in the final in February. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer |
