Stuttgart (Germany), Nov 21 (AP) Germany forward Deniz Undav has been ruled out for possibly the rest of the year because of a muscle injury, Stuttgart said on Thursday.

The 28-year-old Undav was injured in training the day before, and an exam showed he won't be available “in the coming weeks,” the club said.

Undav hasn't played since Nov. 6 when Stuttgart lost at home to Atalanta 2-0 in the Champions League. He left that game early with a hamstring injury that forced him to pull out of Germany's games during the international break.

“It's going to have to go well if we're going to see him on a field again this year,” Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß said.
