The precarious situation in terms of personnel at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund had recently eased somewhat. In the top game against FC Bayern (2-2), Mats Hummels and Marius Wolf were again good enough for a half, while keeper Gregor Kobel took a seat on the substitutes’ bench. There was more news on Sunday.
According to information from the “Ruhr news“The chances are getting better and better that the Swiss goalkeeper will return to the starting XI of the black and yellow next Tuesday (from 9 p.m.) against FC Sevilla. On Sunday he was able to complete the team training in Dortmund-Brackel without restrictions, it was said it in the newspaper report.
Gregor Kobel was out for almost a month and missed important games for his colors. Without Kobel in the Dortmund box, BVB could not win against RB Leipzig (0: 3), Manchester City (1: 2) and recently FC Bayern.
If the 24-year-old reports that he is fit for action again, there is no doubt that he should be back in the Dortmund goal from the start. Head coach Edin Terzic had recently emphasized that.
Reus is absent from BVB training on Sunday
According to the media report, the situation is a bit more complicated for BVB captain Marco Reus. The 33-year-old has been out since the 1-0 derby win against FC Schalke with an ankle injury.
The torn outer ligament has now healed again, but Reus was then thrown back by an infection. This has still not completely subsided, so the Dortmund captain also canceled training on Sunday.
A return in the Champions League against Sevilla FC is therefore unlikely. Reus should probably be introduced more carefully that he will be available again next Sunday for the next Bundesliga cracker at Union Berlin.
