BVB, News: Marco Reus apparently missed the World Cup

Bitter setback for Marco Reus. The offensive star of Borussia Dortmund apparently has to cancel his participation in the World Cup due to persistent ankle problems. That reports sky.

Reus missed a World Cup finals for the second time since 2014 due to injury. Back then, he tore a ligament in his ankle in the last friendly before leaving for Brazil.

The attacking midfielder has been struggling with an ankle injury since the district derby against Schalke in mid-September. He then made two comeback attempts against Union Berlin and VfL Bochum, but then complained of ankle pain.
