Jurgen Klopp fears worst after Marco Reus injury

Borussia Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is fearing the worst after Marco Reus was forced off with an ankle injury in the 2-2 draw with SC Paderborn on Saturday.

Reus, who has already injured his ankle on three previous occasions in 2014, had to be stretchered off following a challenge from Marvin Bakalorz, and Klopp claims that the Paderborn midfielder was fortunate to remain on the pitch.

"It was a horrific moment, because Marco is now in hospital with a very swollen foot and we're all expecting a bad diagnosis," Klopp told reporters.

"It's a red card. A draw in Paderborn isn't that dramatic, but the potential long-term loss of Reus is harder to accept."

The draw with Paderborn left Dortmund 15th in the Bundesliga table.
