Rojas has to sit out the next four to six weeks of pre-season training due to a fracture if the right second metatarsal, meaning he may miss the start of the Bundesliga season which Stuttgart are due to open in Mainz on 11 August.
The 21-year-old was voted the A-League’s player of the year during what proved to be his final season with the Melbourne Victory. He left the Australian club on a free transfer in April, signing a contract with Stuttgart until 2017.
VfB team phyisician Dr. Raymond Best said Rojas will need to avoid all football specific training for the next four to six weeks, but may continue cycling, swimming or weight training.
