Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has suggested that he is ready to make the long-awaited comeback from injury.
The Germany international has been out of action since August 2013 with a back problem, before finally returning in the reserve match last week.
He is now determined to build his match fitness and has made it clear he is ready for first team football whenever Jurgen Klopp wants to use him.
“I think that I am available for first-team selection again from here on,” Gundogan told Sky Sport News.
“The plan was to get in some training hours during the international break and make another step forward in a friendly game.
“I will be part of the squad again from the point that everybody returns from the international break. This weekend’s match versus Koln should be that moment.
“So long as nothing out of the ordinary happens, I expect to be part of the match squad versus Koln.”
Borussia Dortmund face Koln away hoping to kick-start their season and the Millionaires are available at 1.67 (2/3) to claim maximum points.
