Team News: Marco Reus recovers from injury to start for Borussia Dortmund

Marco Reus recovers from a midweek knock to start for Borussia Dortmund against Hamburger SV.

Marco Reus has overcome his latest injury to start for Borussia Dortmund in their game against Hamburger SV at the Imtech Arena.

There had been suggestions that the attacking midfielder would miss out after being forced off in the first half of the midweek win over Dynamo Dresden, but both he and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have proved their fitness to start.

Ciro Immobile scored a brace in the DFB-Pokal victory, but the Italian is forced to settle for a place on the bench alongside Kevin Kampl and Sebastian Kehl.

Nuri Sahin is still out with injury, while Sven Bender and Roman Weidenfeller both return to the starting lineup as Jurgen Klopp's side bid for a fifth successive Bundesliga win.

The hosts welcome back Ivica Olic in attack, while Pierre-Michel Lasogga is fit enough to be named as a substitute.

Heiko Westermann replaces the suspended Matthias Ostrzolek in defence, but club captain Rafael van der Vaart is once again forced to settle for a spot on the bench.

Hamburger SV: Drobny, Diekmeier, Djourou, Cleber, Westermann, Jiracek, Behrami, Muller, Stieber, Gouaida, Olic

Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Kirch, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer, Bender, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan, Reus, Kagawa, Aubameyang
