Marco Reus has been absent from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in the past four competitive games. Now the BVB captain is working in team training again. In addition to Reus, coach Marco Rose can also look forward to more returnees. Your stakes in the upcoming top game of the black and yellow are within the realm of possibility. Before that, however, there is a little breather for those who stayed at home.
One of them is Marco Reus, who was first knocked out of action by an injury and then missed three games due to illness. Therefore, the 32-year-old was not nominated by national coach Hansi Flick for the international matches against Israel (March 26) and the Netherlands (March 29).
The offensive player in Dortmund should be brought back to his previous level of performance after recovering from his illness before the upcoming Bundesliga game. On Thursday and Friday, Reus was part of the team training again, survived it well and should now be a starting eleven candidate for Rose again in the new week.
Under the eyes of the head coach, the attacker was not the only regular player in BVB training. So Axel Witsel and Emre Can could do their laps on the pitch, the duo was also not nominated for the international matches.
In Dan-Axel Zagadou, who is finding his old level more and more after his muscle fiber tear, Marius Wolf and Reinier trained three more professionals. The training squad was filled with players from the U23s, the first national players are expected back in Dortmund at the beginning of next week.
Marco Reus fit again for the game against RB Leipzig?
Central defender Mats Hummels, meanwhile, was still working individually in order to be slowly reintroduced because of his problems with the patellar tendon and after surviving a corona infection. The same applies to Mahmoud Dahoud, who was absent against Cologne due to a yellow card suspension.
However, according to information from the “Ruhr Nachrichten” – just like Reus – all the players mentioned should be up again by next Saturday to make the selection difficult for Rose.
He released his remaining stars in Dortmund on this weekend without games. From Monday it’s all about preparing as best as possible for the top game against RB Leipzig (April 2, 6:30 p.m.).
The game comes too early for the injured Dortmund players Thomas Meunier, Felix Passlack, Nico Schulz and Youssoufa Moukoko. According to “Ruhr Nachrichten”, the latter is about to return to team training.
