Dortmund expect 'tight' call on Haaland and Reus before Sporting tie | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are still hopeful Erling Haaland and Marco Reus will recover in time to face Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The attacking duo missed Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach with muscle and knee issues respectively.

Both kicker and Sport1 have reported that the pair completed a light running session on Sunday away from the rest of BVB’s first team.

Sebastian Kehl, the head of Dortmund’ licensed players’ department, admitted it was still touch-and-go whether the key men would be able to participate in final training on Monday ahead of the visit of the Portuguese champions.

“We’ll have to wait and see,” Kehl said.

“We’ll still need tomorrow. It’s going to be tight for both of them, but we have hope.”

Between them, Haaland and Reus have already scored 12 goals and racked up seven assists in all competitions this season.
