'Write as much as you want, Reus will stay captain' - Dortmund hit back at criticisms of skipper

The 30-year-old has been under fire from the German press in recent days but Lucien Favre and Michael Zorc have total faith in him as a leader

Marco Reus has been backed as Borussia Dortmund captain by the Bundesliga club’s hierarchy after receiving criticism from sections of the German press.

The 30-year-old recently lost his temper in an angry interview, clearly frustrated at what he saw as a repetitive line of questioning after Dortmund’s 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht had equalised in the 88th minute through a Thomas Delaney own goal, leading to questions about Dortmund’s mental strength.
