Finally at the World Cup: Reus sees “good chances of being there”

Cologne (SID) National soccer player Marco Reus sees himself well on the way to the World Cup in Russia after his successful comeback after an eight-month injury break. "Of course the World Cup is a big goal for me. If everything goes normally and I show my performance, I think I have a good chance of being there," said the Borussia Dortmund offensive player to the online portal goal.com. Reus missed the 2014 World Cup and EURO 2016 due to injuries. That shouldn't happen this year. Reus, who has already scored three goals in eight games for BVB since his return on February 10th, wants to improve significantly before the World Cup starts in three months. "Even though I've come back quite well now, I know that I still have a lot of room for improvement. It will certainly take a few more months until I'm really back to 100 percent," said the 28-year-old. One of the problems he is having is the high pace of play, with eight games in 29 days. “It’s still difficult for me to play 90 minutes at the moment,” said Reus. He learned a lot from the long period of suffering after the cruciate ligament tear he suffered in the 2017 DFB Cup final against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1): "It's easier for me now to deal with certain things. Many things no longer stress me out as much as they used to "To have gained this ease is an important point."
