In the lead-up to Borussia Dortmund’s crucial clash against Schalke 04 in the 144th Ruhr derby, all eyes are on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was absent due to injury in the previous weekend’s match against Hanover (3-0). However, his availability for the upcoming fixture remains uncertain.
Jurgen Klopp, the club manager, provided an update on Aubameyang’s condition, stating, “He picked up an injury before the Hannover game, and it was significant. However, he has resumed training for the past two days, and I’m hopeful to have him available tonight as four days should suffice to recover from his ailment.” Additionally, Klopp can rely on Marco Reus, who returned on Saturday after missing out on the Champions League fixture.
As Dortmund and Schalke 04 prepare for their showdown, Bayern Munich stands on the brink of clinching their 24th Bundesliga title, with the opportunity to seal it with a victory over Hertha Berlin.
