German international Renate Lingor will be out for up to six weeks after tearing ligaments in her right knee.

Recovery process
But the playmaker from Bundesliga champions and UEFA Women's Cup finalists 1. FFC Frankfurt does not face an extended period on the sidelines. Frankfurt's team doctor said: "She will be able to return to individual practice in two weeks."

Algarve Cup doubt
The 30-year-old will almost certainly be ruled out of Germany's friendly against China on 1 March in Homburg. Furthermore, she is doubtful for the Algarve Cup taking place in Portugal from 6-16 March.
