Paco Alcacer could return for Borussia Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal clash with Union Berlin on Wednesday after missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury.
Alcacer has made a stunning start to life in the Bundesliga with seven goals in four outings, while he also netted three times on international duty with Spain this month.
The on-loan Barcelona forward has not featured since being withdrawn at half-time in Dortmund’s 4-0 win over Stuttgart on October 20, but coach Lucien Favre is hopeful he could feature in the midweek cup encounter.
“He is in training,” said Favre. “We’ll see if it’s possible [for him to play] or not.”
Favre also confirmed Shinji Kagawa has fully recovered from an ankle injury, the Japan international having not lined up for Dortmund in over a month.
