Dortmund's Kagawa tears ankle ligament

Soccer Betting Lines

02/16/2012 - Dortmund, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Borussia Dortmund's Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa tore a ligament in his left ankle in training and will be out at least two weeks, the Bundesliga club announced Thursday.

The 22-year-old was injured in training Wednesday, and Dortmund has ruled him out of this weekend's game at Hertha Berlin and the following week's home game against Hannover.

Kagawa has seven goals and six assists this season for Dortmund, which is the defending champion and currently sits atop the standings. The club expects to have him available to face Mainz on March 3.

Dortmund was already without 19-year-old German midfielder Mario Gotze because of a groin injury, and now must face a short spell without both playmakers.

Borussia Dortmund is undefeated in 15 straight league matches and leads Bayern Munich by two points in the table.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
