According to German media SPORT1, due to the unsatisfactory treatment effect, Dortmund midfielder Brandt recently performed surgical treatment on the fractured scaphoid bone.

Brent suffered a scaphoid fracture during this summer's Club World Cup. The original plan was to take conservative treatment of the injury so that the bones could heal again, so that surgery would not be needed. But according to SPORT1, this plan did not work as expected.

In addition, Brandt was bored with the protective gear on his arm, so he eventually chose to undergo surgery. The report said he had undergone surgery during the national team game last week.

The 29-year-old's surgery went smoothly as planned and will now be absent for a short time, and he was asked to fully rest for about ten days. The report said that Brandt can resume training within this week and he has a good chance to play again in the away game against Heidenheim this weekend.
