Runners-up Borussia Dortmund will also have to do without Axel Witsel in the Bundesliga game at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky), Emre Can, however, is about to make a comeback. The soccer international has cured his muscular problems and went back on full team training on Friday. That said coach Lucien Favre.
Like Can, Giovanni Reyna is again available to BVB. However, he left it open whether Favre would change his starting XI compared to the convincing derby victory against Schalke 04 (4: 0). The Swiss warned, however, to concentrate fully on the game in Wolfsburg and not yet think about the league summit against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. "They are very stable," said Favre of VfL, who has been unbeaten in seven games (four wins).
The coach also hopes to be able to fall back on captain Marco Reus this season. "He hasn't trained with the team yet. We hope he can come back as soon as possible and help us," said Favre. Reus suffered a muscle injury in the adductor area at the beginning of February at the Cup in Bremen. Most recently, there was speculation in the media about the season end of the international.
