Double penalty and big blow for Borussia Dortmund. First, the Ruhr club, future opponent of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, took the door in the knockout stages of the German Cup Tuesday, beaten on the ground of Werder Bremen (3-2) . Match in which the Erling Haaland goal machine struck again, with an eighth accomplishment in four matches under the colors of the BVB. Aged just 18, the American Giovanni Reyna also made the nets tremble, a fine goal indeed. But it will also be remembered, above all, beyond elimination, that Dortmund lost their captain in this match.
During yesterday's match, Marco Reus sustained a muscle injury that looks to keep him sidelined for up to four weeks.

Replaced in the 89th minute by newcomer Emre Can, Marco Reus suffers from a "muscular injury", as Borussia indicates. Injury that will keep the German international (44 caps, 13 goals) away from the field for several weeks. "The medical staff estimates that it will take four weeks before the captain returns to training," said one. Clearly, Reus is already forfeited for the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Paris-SG, on February 18 at Signal Iduna Park.
Hazard associated with Sancho and Haaland nuggets?
Bad news for Lucien Favre, and another injury for Marco Reus, fragile, and who often missed big meetings for this kind of reason, especially with the German national team. Since the start of the season, he has scored 12 goals and delivered 7 assists with his training club. Coach Favre shouldn't be trying too hard to replace him in the starting lineup: the Swiss technician should, probably, line up an offensive trio composed of Thorgan Hazard, Eden's brother, the English nugget Jadon Sancho and the Norwegian Haaland . An impressive arsenal… Reus could be back for the second round in C1 against PSG on March 11 at the Parc des Princes.
