Dortmund Dismisses Report Of Marco Reus Missing Six Months

Jun 14, 2016 11:51 AM

Borussia Dortmund has dismissed speculation that Marco Reus could miss up to six months with an adductor injury.

Dortmund believes Reus is expected to be fully fit by mid-August.

A club statement read: "Marco Reus is currently on vacation recovering from a small tear of the adductor as well as light pubis inflammation, which was already known.

"The 27-year-old has certainly not suffered damage to a tendon or his pubic bone, leading to him missing the rest of 2016, as was peddled today.

"Injuries of this kind were not diagnosed by doctors of the club or doctors of the national team.

"Reus, who scored 23 goals in 43 games for BVB last season, will be fully fit by mid-August if his recovery goes to plan."
