Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus is set to return for Sunday's clash with league leaders Union Berlin, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic confirmed on Friday. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Terzic said Reus - who has been out since being stretchered off the pitch with an injured ankle in mid-September against Schalke - was ready to return, but may start the match from the bench. "Marco was in outstanding form. He not only created plenty for us, but he also finished (several chances).

"Whether he's ready for the starting XI, we will see.

"Marco Reus is an important factor for us. We've missed our captain. We're glad to have him back."

Several other Dortmund players are under an injury cloud heading into the game, including Anthony Modeste, Thomas Meunier and Rafa Guerreiro.

"They're working very consistently, they've managed to do it excellently, without spending much money on the transfer market" Terzic said.

"Everyone knows their role in the team. (They have) unbelievable support, especially in home games - and that's a really good mix upon which to build success.

"It's always difficult to play away at Union - that's something we've experienced in recent years."

Dortmund have lost two of their three games away at Union since the latter were promoted to the top division ahead of the 2019-20 season

SUNDERLAND SHOULD LOOK TO STRIKE PERMANENT TRANSFER AGREEMENT WITH EVERTON IN JANUARY: OPINION

SEARC SHARE TWEET BeyondWords Sunderland have been struggling without a recognised striker since mid-September, but head coach Tony Mowbray was bolstered last weekend with the return of Ellis Simms from injury. The Black Cats suffered two doses of cruel misfortune two months ago – firstly with talisman Ross Stewart pulling up in the warm-up before facing Middlesbrough with a quad injury, and then just a over a week later it was Simms’ turn to be struck down. The toe injury that Simms suffered was only supposed to keep him out for a few weeks, but it ended up being much longer than that – over six weeks of action was missed and in that time, Sunderland won just one league match and started to slide down the table as a result.
