Borussia Dortmund has announced that Yossouar Moukoko is out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his knee injury.

The 16-year-old striker was originally expected to be sidelined for four weeks, but the operation he underwent on Monday means he will miss the remainder of the season.

Moukoko has been one of the standout talents in German football this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in just eight games for Dortmund's U-19 team.

He made his first-team debut in November against Hertha Berlin, coming on as a substitute in the second half of the game.

However, he suffered a serious knee injury during training earlier this month, which forced him to undergo surgery.

Dortmund have expressed their disappointment at the news, but also praised the young player for his resilience and determination.

They have promised to provide Moukoko with all the support he needs during his recovery,Campeonato Brasileiro Direct and will continue to monitor his progress closely.

Despite missing the rest of the season, Moukoko remains a key part of Dortmund's future plans. The club have invested heavily in youth development over recent years, and they believe that Moukoko can become a star player for them in the future.

In the meantime, Dortmund will turn to other players to fill the void left by Moukoko's absence. They have already signed promising young talent Jannik Vestergaard from FC Augsburg, and could look to sign another young forward in the transfer market in the near future.

Overall, it is a blow to see Moukoko ruled out for the rest of the season, but Dortmund remain confident that he will recover fully and return to full fitness soon.
