Dortmund’s Ruhr derby triumph over Schalke on Saturday night was tarnished with what looked like a grave ankle injury for their star man Marco Reus. There were initial fears that the German veteran would be forced out of another World Cup finals after he’s missed the 2014 tournament – also through injury.Marco Reus ruled out of Germany’s next games against Hungary and England with the ankle injury he suffered yesterday. Nevertheless, according to BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl, Reus will ‘just’ be out for 3-4 weeks – World Cup participation not in danger 🇩🇪 [@SPORT1] pic.twitter.com/1nOv2tSKtc— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) September 18, 2022 But there is good news coming out of the BVB camp this Sunday morning – the injury isn’t quite so serious! Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl spoke to Sport1 and revealed that Reus would only have to sit out around three weeks of action, much to the delight of the yellow-black supporters and fans of the German national team.”The injury was a shock for us too. But I can give you a little positive update. The examinations showed no fracture on the ankle. There is some damage to the lateral ligament on his ankle, but not too bad. The injury is not so difficult to put Marco’s World Cup involvement in danger. Reus will be out for three or four weeks.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6651672##The relief is palpable, but Reus is still in a lot of pain and will take nearly a month to recover. The situation is not ideal, but there is hope. The 33-year-old star thanked everyone for their support on Instagram.”Thank you for all the get-well wishes. I’ll be back soon! I will never give up.”According to Transfermarkt, Reus has had 49 injuries or illness-related absences in almost ten years as a BVB professional. He’s so unfortunate with injuries that he missed the 2014 World Cup win and another two European championships. In total, injuries ruled him out of 131 matches or 1,135 days. That means he’d spent more than three years on the treatment table. Прикажи ову објаву у апликацији Instagram Објава коју дели Marco Reus (@marcinho11) At least not all news is bad for Reus.
