The Germany international has suffered a host of injury problems over the last few seasons, and pulled up with a groin problem during Sunday's win

Borussia Dortmund are likely to be without forward Marco Reus for their final two games of 2015, coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed.

Germany international Reus, who has been plagued by fitness problems over recent seasons, suffered a groin injury shortly before half-time in Sunday's 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Speaking at a pre-match media conference, Tuchel ruled Reus out of Wednesday's DFB-Pokal trip to Augsburg and said he was a doubt for the last match before the Bundesliga mid-season break, at Cologne.

"We can't play Marco Reus tomorrow," he said. "As for the rest, I'll decide after today's training session.

"Reus is ruled out for Augsburg and unlikely, but not completely ruled out, for the Cologne match.
