Bartra, Aubameyang, Schurrle return to Dortmund training

Spanish defender Marc Bartra, Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and German playmaker Andre Schurrle returned to Borussia Dortmund training on Monday, in preparation for the Real Madrid clash on Tuesday in the Champions League group stage football contest on Tuesday.

Bartra has had muscular problems recently and missed last Friday's Bundesliga 3-1 win against Freiburg. Aubameyang took a blow to the foot during the Wolfsburg 5-1 win last Tuesday, however he managed to finish the game on the field, reports Efe.

Schurrle, on the other hand, has missed the last few games due to a knee injury.

The three players participated in Monday's training session without any problems in preparation for the match against the Champions League defending champions Real Madrid, while the German side's coach, Thomas Tuchel, is scheduled to announce his squad for the European tie on Tuesday.

Currently, Dortmund are leading Group F after the 6-0 away victory against Legia Warsaw in round one, while Los Blancos come in second after a painstaking 2-1 home triumph against Sporting Lisbon.
