Michy Batshuayi, who cost £33m last summer, hasn’t even started a league game this season.
And it seems hard to imagine Roman Abramovich digging deep for a player with a proven track record of serious injuries who wouldn’t even be a guaranteed starter when fit.
Reus limped off during Saturday’s 6-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen in scenes which are becoming all too familiar for Dortmund fans, and will miss the upcoming Champions League match with Benfica.

He’s suffered a number of setbacks during the last three years and sat out Germany’s last two major tournaments – including the stunning World Cup win in 2014.
