Before the top game at leaders Union Berlin, BVB coach Edin Terzic announced the return of captain Marco Reus. However, there is uncertainty with Bayern hero Anthony Modeste, Thomas Meunier and Raphael Guerreiro.
“Marco Reus completed large parts of the training on Wednesday. If everything continues to develop well, he will be ready for action again,” said Terzic at the matchday press conference on Friday afternoon. However, there are “a few question marks” with other professionals.
Anthony Modeste struggled with thigh and gastrointestinal problems and Raphael Guerrero suffered a blow to the foot. Thomas Meunier has been suffering from a groin injury for a long time. However, Terzic expressed confidence in all three players that they will be available on Sunday. The long-term injured Sebastien Haller (tumor disease), Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Mo Dahoud (both shoulder surgery) and Mateu Morey (knee surgery) will still be absent.
Terzic also made it clear that he did not want to address the high stress caused by the English weeks before the games. It’s not easy, but it’s part of it, says the 39-year-old. “There is the issue of rotation, we will continue to do that and give one or the other a break,” he added. The load is not an excuse for the Union game anyway, since Union was also in action during the week.
