Managing to raise a thumb on the afflicted limb, the 27-year old wrote: "I have suffered a hairline fracture in the ulna and a stretched ligament in the left wrist.

"Nevertheless I can still play tomorrow.

"We have to fight to reach the next round in the @dfb_pokal."

Gotze was injured in Dortmund's 0-0 draw away at Schalke at the weekend.

After being replaced on 58 minutes by former Chelsea player Thorgan Hazard, Gotze was sent to hospital for scans.

It revealed two injuries to his arm - but the club released a statement refusing to rule him out of the Monchengladbach game.
