Club Career
One of Reus’ better seasons was back in 2011-12 for Borussia Mönchengladbach, but it is his long-haul stint for Borussia Dortmund that made him take the extra step on the biggest stage. Reus joined Dortmund ahead of the 2012-13 season in a deal reportedly worth 17.5 million euros1. For multiple seasons he was the clubs’ talisman, fighting it out with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title and reaching the Champions League final.
International Career
Reus made his debut at the international level on the 7th of October 2011 in a European Qualifying match against Turkey – Germany ran out 3-1 winners2. His first international goal came in a 5-3 loss versus Switzerland on the 26th of May 20123.
Injuries
There is no doubt about his talent, but there is doubt about his injury record. Unfortunately, Marco Reus has been plagued by injuries during his career. In 2017 he suffered a cruciate ligament rupture4 – an injury that kept him on the sidelines for 220 days and made him miss 27 games5. A common denominator for Reus is; a great talent hampered by injuries.
