Hummels spent nearly two months out with a ligament injury in his ankle, and only returned in the late January clash against Eintracht Braunschweig.

"An investigation by BVB team doctor Markus Braun revealed this afternoon that the [player] had a strain in the region of the tarsal joint.
"The injury will require, according to Dr Markus Braun about a two-week rehabilitation period."
Hummels' previous injury had come during Germany's friendly against England in November, which also saw Marcel Schmelzer sidelined.
Hummels' season aside, the 25-year-old has been linked with moves away from Dortmund, with Barcelona the most notable name.
