WOLFSBURG, Germany — Wolfsburg forward Ivan Perisic has a broken shoulder and will need surgery that will put him on the long-term injured list with Patrick Ochs and Christian Traesch.

Ochs is out with a knee injury, and Traesch also has a shoulder injury.

Perisic scored 10 times for Wolfsburg last season.

Wolfsburg managing director Klaus Allofs says the injuries are unfortunate, "but we have a deep squad."

Wolfsburg will play in the Europa League this season.
