Berlin - German Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin will be without striker Amine Chermiti for three months after the Tunisian picked up a knee injury during Berlin's 1-0 UEFA Cup victory against Slovenian club Interblock on Thursday night. Berlin coach Lucien Favre said Friday that the injury to the 20- year-old was a huge disappointment. "That is very difficult for him. He had to wait for a long time before he could join us. And just as he was about to break through this happens."
Chermiti is the second Berlin player who will be out for a long time with a knee injury. Brazilian Lucio has already been sidelined for more than a year.
