Marco Reus faces slight delay in return from injury for Dortmund

Marco Reus faces a delayed return to action for Borussia Dortmund but the club remain hopeful he can feature this month.

The 27-year-old playmaker has been out of action since sustaining a groin injury in the DFB Pokal final defeat to Bayern Munich in May.

Dortmund had predicted he would return for mid-September and though he has yet to return to training, general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke remains optimistic.

"I'm not a doctor, but we do have a bit of a delay," Watzke told German newspapers.

"Today is Sept. 13 and there are 30 days in September, so that means we still have 17 days. Therefore, we still have a few days."

Reus completed the cup final but was ruled out of Euro 2016, where Germany reached the semifinals before losing to host nation France.
