Borussia Mönchengladbach will be without forward Tomas Cvancara for "the next few weeks" after he suffered an ankle ligament tear in training, the Bundesliga club said on Friday.

Cvancara has been repeatedly thwarted by injuries since his transfer from Sparta Prague last summer.

He has played a total of 16 games across all competitions this season and scored six goals so far.
