Borussia Dortmund's Kevin Grosskreutz will miss Wednesday's Champions League last 16 clash away to Shakhtar Donetsk after being hospitalized with suspected pneumonia, coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Sunday.
.
Klopp returned out any chance of Grosskreutz making the match at Donetsk's Donbass Arena in Ukraine after the 24-year-old spent the weekend in hospital and missed Borussia's shock 4-1 home defeat by Hamburg on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
.
After training with the team last Thursday, Grosskreutz was taken to hospital where he was treated for a lung infection, and was only briefly allowed to leave the clinic on Saturday to watch his team play on television.
.
There is a question mark over midfielder IIkay Gundogan, who is carrying a thigh and toe injury whcih kept him out of the Hamburg defeat which left Dortmund second in the German league.
