Atouba will return to action next month
|
Cameroon international defender Thimothee Atouba will out of action for three weeks because on injury.
The 25-year-old, who plays for German side Hamburg, tore a ligament during his side's 4-2 defeat by rivals Stuttgart last week.
A thorough examination has revealed that he will need three weeks to recover.
"I hope to be back as soon as possible," Atouba said.
Atouba's absence is a blow for 13th-placed Hamburg, who are battling to beat the drop.
