Scan confirms injury
The 30-year-old Argentinian international hurt his left leg during Hamburg's 2-1 Bundesliga defeat at VfL Bochum 1848 on Saturday and a scan today revealed the injury. Team doctor Oliver Dierk said: "Juan Pablo will not be at our disposal until the second half of the season." Hamburg end their UEFA Champions League Group G fixtures on Wednesday when they aim to pick up a first point against PFC CSKA Moskva, and with two games to go before the winter break they are second bottom of the Bundesliga. Sorín hopes to return to action when the German season resumes on 27 January.
