It looked bad when Daniel Svensson went off injured in Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw with Lille on Tuesday.

However, according to Bild, he could be back in action before the end of the month.

Dortmund have announced that the left-back has suffered an internal knee ligament injury and will be out until the international break.

The Black and Yellows face Mainz on 30 March after the international break, and Bild reports that he has a good chance of being available for that game.

Svensson joined Dortmund on loan from Danish side FC Nordsjælland in the winter transfer window.
