Reus Struggling to Stay Healthy for International Play

Having missed the team's successful FIFA World Cup campaign with an injury two years ago, sitting out the 2016 Euro tournament will be a devastating blow for the 27-year-old.

Reus enjoyed a strong season for BVB, netting 12 goals and grabbing three assists in the Bundesliga, per WhoScored.com.

Dortmund had a brilliant 2015-16 under the astute guidance of manager Thomas Tuchel. Needless to say, Reus was at the heart of many of their very best performances.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Reus had already suffered five separate niggles this campaign, and while he has been playing well when out on the field, Dortmund fans have been left wondering just how effective he could be if he put together a sustained run of games.

Even though Reus is a key player for Germany and will be missed, any potential spell on the sidelines is unlikely to be catastrophic to their campaign. They coped well without him two years ago, and with the likes of Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil, Mario Gotze and Andre Schurrle to call upon, Low has a lot of attacking talent at hand.

There’s a bigger picture to look at when it comes to this wonderful footballer. As brilliant as Reus is, there is a danger that these continued issues, which date back over the last couple of years, will potentially prevent him from ever realising the glittering potential he possesses. For the second successive major tournament, he'll be left to lament what might have been.
