Nicolai Muller faces seven months out on the sidelines.

Hamburg winger Nicolai Muller has been ruled out for seven months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -- while celebrating scoring a goal.

Muller scored an eighth-minute winner for his side in their 1-0 Bundesliga victory against Augsburg on Saturday.

However, after finding the back of the net, the 29-year-old fell to the ground awkwardly following a celebration that saw him spin around and jump into the air before tripping over the corner flag.
