Fitness fears over Aubameyang with Real Madrid looming

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has emerged as a fitness doubt for Borussia Dortmund's Champions League clash with Real Madrid, despite playing 90 minutes – and scoring – against Freiburg on Friday.

Aubameyang capped his 100th Bundesliga appearance with a goal as Thomas Tuchel's men beat Freiburg 3-1 at Signal Iduna Park, with Zinedine Zidane's European champions the next visitors to Westphalia on Tuesday.

"Aubameyang has twice taken a blow," Tuchel told his post-match news conference. "We must wait until tomorrow [Saturday]."

The player himself was keen to ease fears over his fitness, telling reporters: "It's OK. I'm not too bad."
