Borussia Dortmund Sweating Over Mario Goetze And Patrick Owomoyela Fitness Ahead Of Bayern Munich Clash

Borussia Dortmund have received some disturbing news from the treatment table ahead of Sunday's showdown with Bayern Munich. The Ruhr side may be missing winger Mario Goetze and full-back Patrick Owomoyela as they prepare to take on the defending Bundesliga champions.

Goetze had to miss Thursday's match against Sevilla due to muscle tightness in his thigh, but has also picked up a cold. Coach Juergen Klopp sent the 18-year-old home on Friday morning "to prevent an epidemic".

Additionally, Owmoyela has struggled with an ankle injury all week and, though he featured against Sevilla, he may not be fully fit for this weekend's match.

Should they fail to recover in time for kick-off, Goetze will likely be replaced by Jakub Blaszczykowski, and Lukas Piszczek is expected to stand in for Owomoyela.
