BERLIN: Second-placed Borussia Dortmund are set to include fleet-footed forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against strugglers Stuttgart.
Dortmund's dynamic duo, who donned Batman and Robin costumes for a goal celebration in last February's derby win over Schalke, have scored 22 goals between them this season.
Striker Aubameyang started the weekend as the league's top scorer with 15 goals from 13 games.
"Things look good with Marco and Auba, so I assume they can play," Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said in Saturday's press conference.
The pair were left out of Dortmund's 1-0 Europa League defeat at Russia's FK Krasnodar on Thursday which left them second in Group C, a defeat Tuchel described as "unnecessary".
Hosts Dortmund are looking to get back to winning ways against Stuttgart after their 3-1 defeat at Hamburg 10 days ago in their last Bundesliga outing.
Dortmund are eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich and will be favourites at the Signal Iduna Park against a Stuttgart side currently third from bottom.
They sacked coach Alexander Zorniger after last Saturday's 4-0 drubbing at home to fellow strugglers Augsburg.
Caretaker coach Jurgen Kramny, a former coaching colleague of Tuchel's at both Stuttgart and Mainz, will be on the away bench in Dortmund.
