Dortmund (dpa) - Borussia Dortmund can apparently plan again with Erling Haaland for the tricky season finale.
The Norwegian striker is about to return to team training after recovering from a thigh injury.
"We hope that everything is so good that it is pain-free and an option for Saturday," said football teacher Edin Terzic with reference to the important Bundesliga home game of the fifth against the second RB Leipzig (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
Haaland suffered a thigh injury in the 2-0 game of the last Bundesliga match in Wolfsburg and was therefore missing in the subsequent 5-0 cup semi-final over Holstein Kiel. In addition to Haaland, Terzic is also planning with Giovanni Reyna again, who had to sit out during the first training days of the week due to a calf injury. "We are very confident that he will be available on Saturday," commented Terzic.
After the last four Bundesliga victories in a row, the Revierclub has shortened the gap to fourth Frankfurt (1 point) and third Wolfsburg (2 points).
With a win over Leipzig, BVB could keep its chance at the Champions League and get in the mood for the cup final against the same opponent.
“We'll do everything we can to get three points on Saturday.
But that doesn't change the fact that the desire is also very great to win the cup five days later, ”said Terzic.

When asked whether the two duels with Leipzig are also about being the second player in German football behind FC Bayern Munich, Zorc replied: “The question is getting a bit annoying.
I don't know whether you should always measure the first, second or third force based on a few months.
We have the table for that.
For us it is about maintaining our eligibility for the Champions League places. "
