Dortmund confirm Batshuayi will miss the rest of the season due to injury

Borussia Dortmund confirm Chelsea loanee Michy Batshuayi will miss the rest of the season due to injury, but the striker could still feature for Belgium at the World Cup.

Batshuayi was carried off on a stretcher towards the end of Dortmund's 2-0 loss to Ruhr rivals Schalke in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

The Belgium striker - who has hit seven league goals since joining on loan from Chelsea in January - covered his face with his hands as he left the field.

And Stoger, while unwilling to offer a diagnosis for Batshuayi's apparent ankle injury, accepted it could be a serious blow for the forward, who was seen leaving the stadium on crutches and was reportedly taken to hospital.
