Borussia Dortmund could make a late move in the January transfer window after midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski became the latest addition to their growing injury list.
The Poland captain tore cruciate knee ligaments at the weekend and will be out for the rest of the season, joining Mats Hummels, Ilkay Guendogan and Neven Subotic on the sidelines.
“We have discussed this internally and are looking at the market,” Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told Die Welt newspaper.
“I do not want to rule out that we will be active in the transfer market after Blaszczykowski’s injury.”
With Dortmund facing Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League last 16 next month, last season’s runners-up need to boost their resources in midfield.
“We know the transfer options in the window are rather limited,” Dortmund sports director Michael Zorc told reporters. “Which club would want to part with a good player in mid-season?”
The 2011 and 2012 champions have struggled in the Bundesliga and are 14 points behind leaders Bayern Munich in third place.
