Top striker Erling Haaland is about to make his comeback at Borussia Dortmund.
“We will also have Erling on the bus.
Erling has developed well in the last few days, ”said BVB coach Marco Rose on Friday with reference to the trip to the Bundesliga game at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.
Haaland was last out due to a hip flexor injury.
Dortmund - The Norwegian played his last game in the Bundesliga for BVB on October 16 in a 3-1 win against FSV Mainz 05.
"Erling is feeling good, but of course there will be no more than a short assignment," said Rose.
Haaland, who has scored nine goals in six league games this season, is therefore also an option for the top German duel with FC Bayern Munich on December 4th.
"If he's on the bus today, if he's going to Wolfsburg and can possibly get there via a short assignment, if the week is developing well, then of course he's ready for action," said Rose.
