Struggling German Bundesliga side Eintracht Braunschweig are likely to be without attacker Karim Bellarabi for Bundesliga derby clash with Hannover 96 on Sunday.
The 23-year-old has suffered a groin injury and is not likely to be in the Braunschweig squad to face Hannover at the Eintracht Stadion.
Braunschweig manager Torsten Lieberknecht was hoping to have the influential attacker back after missing last weekend's stalemate with his parent club Bayer Leverkusen but is not likely to be in their squad for the game.
However Braunschweig doctors will attempt to get him fit before Sunday evening.
