MARCOS REUS RETURNS BACK TO ACTION AS CAPTAIN OF DORTMUND

Marcos Reus has returned to competitive football with Borussia Dortmund.

He missed the World Cup due to ankle ligament damage sustained less than 24 hours before the Germany squad was due to fly out to Brazil. Borussia Dortmund defeated Stuttgarter Kickers 4-1 with Marco Reus captaining the Westphalians on his return from injury. 

The German winger was in the starting eleven and wore the captain's armband in the DFB-Pokal Cup first round match against third division side, the Stuttgarter Kickers.

Dortmund gave the player a warm welcome back on the social media. The player had been out for 11 weeks after picking up his injury during a friendly game against Azerbaijan prior to the World Cup tournament. 

Manager Jurgen Kloop assured the day before the game that the winger had completely recovered.

Reus was not expected to return until September, but he managed an hour as Dortmund followed up their German Super Cup win over Bayern Munich with victory in Stuttgart, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (two) and Adrian Ramos scoring the goals.
