Borussia Dortmund have revealed that Jakub Blaszczykowski will miss the club's pre-season tour of Asia through injury.
The versatile midfielder made 20 appearances in all competitions last season - nine from the start - but has struggled with injuries in recent years and the latter stages of his 2014-15 campaign was interrupted by a groin tear.
Now, in a blow for new BVB boss Thomas Tuchel, the Poland international is set to miss a significant part of the Bundesliga outfit's pre-season programme.
"Kuba won't be travelling to Asia with the team due to muscular problems," read a tweet from Dortmund.
BVB will kick off their Bundesliga campaign next month with a home game against Borussia Monchengladbach.
The 29-year-old Blaszczykowski joined Dortmund from Wisla Krakow in 2007 and has won two German titles and one DFB-Pokal during his successful spell at Signal Iduna Park.
