Peter Stöger is hoping that the concerns surrounding the fitness of Marco Reus and Shinji Kagawa will dissipate by Saturday and that he will be able to name the same squad he selected last weekend in Bremen when BVB host 1. FSV Mainz 05 this weekend.

"Shinji had to sit out yesterday," reported the coach, who said the midfielder was experiencing "minor ankle problems". Marco Reus has not yet been able to train with the team since sustaining an injury during the match in Bremen. "He completed a running session yesterday. I'm working on the assumption that he'll be okay by Saturday," Stöger said. (br)
