Borussia Dortmund vs. Porto: Burki hoping for Aubameyang return

Goalkeeper Roman Burki hopes striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is fit to return for Borussia Dortmund's Europa League clash with Porto.

Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is pushing for a return to action in Thursday's Europa League round-of-32 first leg against Porto at Signal Iduna Park.

The Gabon international missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Hannover in the Bundesliga after sustaining a knock in the DFB-Pokal against Stuttgart last week.

Aubameyang is Dortmund's top scorer this term - boasting seven goals in the Europa League - with coach Thomas Tuchel likely to be able to call on the striker again this week after his return to training.
