Borussia Dortmund optimistic over Nuri Sahin ankle injury

Borussia Dortmund have said they hope Nuri Sahin will be able to play again this season after initially fearing he could be ruled out with an ankle injury.

Sahin, 28, was injured in a challenge with Tobias Strobl in the 3-2 win at Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, and coach Thomas Tuchel had suggested he could miss the rest of the campaign.

However, the injury is not as bad as feared and a statement on the official Dortmund website said: "This diagnosis leaves us with the hope that the 28-year-old midfielder can intervene actively in the league's final sprint."
