Ilkay Gundogan has talked up Borussia Dortmund's strength in depth ahead of its trip to Darmstadt in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes coach Thomas Tuchel has the squad strength to cope with its current injury woes ahead of Wednesday's visit to Darmstadt.
Tuchel saw his side struggle to break down 10-man Hoffenheim in its 3-1 win at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday, with Dortmund missing center backs Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mats Hummels, while Gundogan was only fit for the second half after illness.
The likes of Marco Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lukasz Piszczek all shook off injury or illness to feature as an initially lackluster Dortmund eventually prevailed with three late goals after Sebastian Rudy had seen red for Hoffenheim.
