Lewandowski fit to face Dortmund – Heynckes

Robert Lewandowski will be fit to return for Bayern Munich's Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, confirmed coach Jupp Heynckes.

The Poland international missed Bayern's 2-1 win at Celtic on Tuesday due to a minor muscle problem, as Heynckes' men qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League.

But Heynckes says the prolific 29-year-old will be back in his team as league leaders Bayern prepare to face an out-of-form second-placed Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park in the first league Der Klassiker of the campaign.

"It's not my ideal choice to replace someone in attack with a midfielder," Heynckes told reporters after the Celtic win.

"I thought the team did well with this. Lewy trained well today and seems fit.

"All being well, he'll play at the weekend."
