| | | Klopp worries over Subotic and hopes for second Derby win | | | | [13.04.] Bayern are history, all focus is on Schalke, with Jürgen Klopp calling Saturday´s game "an absolute cracker." It will be the next in a series of big games for BVB who are ticking off the list of the Bundesliga´s finest teams: Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and Bayern, now Schalke and next weekend Mönchengladbach. | | |  | | Will Mario Götze return to the squad for the trip to Schalke? |
But first things first, with the anticipation in the BVB camp for the Schalke game being huge. "The stage is set for great game of football," said the Borussia Dortmund coach, adding that he has a lot of respect for Saturday´s opponents. "This is a really good side. It will be difficult to defend against this quality side and to play to your own strengths," said Klopp. "We will need to be as focused as on Wednesday."
One or two Borussia players picked up a niggle on Wednesday night, for example Neven Subotic who got a knock on the calf. Mario Götze also has a minor injury concern, after suffering an ankle problem in the Tuesday´s training. The BVB midfielder undertook an individual training programme on Thursday, but mainly because the rest of the team only had a recovery training session. When asked whether Götze will return to the squad for the trip to Schalke, Klopp replied: "I can´t say anything about it at the moment."
And he also refused to comment on things said in the media this week. "That we look at it from a sporting angle is beyond doubt," said Klopp . "I hope the others see it the same way. If possible, we want to achieve all our goals."
One of those season goals is to win both Derby games...
