Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze is ruled out indefinitely, for a curious reason. 

"He [Gotze] has continually suffered with muscular problems in the past few months, prompting a comprehensive internal investigation into the possible causes," said a club statement.

"Those investigations revealed the player has metabolic disturbances, rendering it absolutely necessary to withdraw him from team training for the time being."

The 24-year-old Germany star says he will do "everything in my power to be back in training".
