Dortmund fans unfurl banner to protest against potential Gotze return

Borussia Dortmund supporters are seemingly not in favor of a reunion with Germany international Mario Gotze.

Mario Gotze has been linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund, but a section of supporters left the club's hierarchy in doubt as to their thoughts on a potential move with an unflattering banner in Saturday's 3-2 win over Werder Bremen.

Gotze, who came through Dortmund's youth academy, controversially joined rival Bayern Munich in 2013 after the Bavarian club triggered a reported 37 million euro ($42.2 million) release clause.

The Germany international was a key figure in his first two seasons at Bayern, but injury has hampered his form in 2015-16 and he has made just three appearances since the start of October for the Bundesliga champion.
