Favre hopeful over Reus fitness

Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre is hopeful over the fitness of Marco Reus after the forward was substituted during his team's DFB-Pokal exit.

Reus came off at half-time of Dortmund's penalty shoot-out loss to Werder Bremen on Tuesday with an injury, having equalised shortly before the break.

Asked if the 29-year-old could play against Hoffenheim, Favre told a news conference: "We hope, but we don't know yet.

"I can't answer that definitely. We will have to wait some days and examine him again.

"[Wednesday] will be too early so we will have to wait a day longer, but we hope."

Dortmund went ahead twice in extra time against Bremen but were pegged back before losing 4-2 on penalties.
