Marco Reus is preparing to make his comeback from the cruciate ligament injury he sustained 259 days ago in the 2-1 DFB Cup final victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. The 28-year-old is in the starting line-up for the Bundesliga home game against Hamburg.

Reus will wear the captain's armband for Borussia Dortmund, as coach Peter Stöger is without key central defender Sokratis. The Greece international is unavailable due to illness.

The line-up: Bürki – Piszczek, Akanji, Toprak, Toljan – Weigl – Pulisic, Kagawa, Schürrle, Reus – Batshuayi
The substitutes: Weidenfeller, Sahin, Götze, Isak, Dahoud, Sokratis, Castro (br)
