Borussia Dortmund will travel to the away game against Hamburger SV on Saturday probably with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, maybe even with Marco Reus, but still without Nuri Sahin. The personnel situation with BVB is still not quite clear two days before the classic encounter.

Aubameyang is expected to be back in training on Friday. Jurgen Klopp commented: 'this is how it has been planned. His back is still not completely free from pain. But Auba rode his bicycle yesterday and he also ran a bit.'

With Marco Reus it will be a race against the clock. Klopp said: 'the bruise is dividing itself up into all kinds of colours all over his thigh. We are doing everything so that we'll get it fixed. Every hour is critical. I can't say yet whether it will be enough for him to be ready for Saturday.'

Nuri Sahin continues to have problems in the groin area. The head Coach had the following to say about the midfield playmaker's chances of being fit: 'it doesn't look like he will be ready.'

Erik Durm will not be ready yet for Hamburg. The left back has completely missed out on the preparations. Klopp indicated that he would play for the U23 side on Saturday against Arminia Bielefeld: 'maybe 60 minutes are possible for him so that he can take the next step.' (br)
