Jürgen Klopp is not concerned Borussia Dortmund is facing a mass exodus of players if they don't qualify for the Champions League next season.

Dortmund are 12 points out of fourth place after securing just 15 points from their opening 17 matches.

"I understand that many people have the horror scenario [of a relegation] in their head, but whoever thinks that we can't make up those few points is unreasonably pessimistic," Klopp, who suffered relegation with FSV Mainz in 2007, said. "We've got 17 games to avoid relegation and we will do that."

 

Mats Hummels and Marco Reus are two players that could be leaving Dortmund this summer.

"I am currently not interested in qualification for next year's Champions League. Right now, I don't have any problem with staying in the league and having a year with a load of training next season," Klopp added.

 

"If there should be a player who wants to leave because of a year without Champions League football, then my rating of him would have been completely wrong," Klopp said.
