BERLIN (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday when they found out that Germany winger Marco Reus' thigh injury turned out to be only a dead leg.

Reus, who had an injury-plagued 2014 that also saw him miss the World Cup, was hurt midway through the first half of the 2-0 German Cup last-16 win at Dynamo Dresden on Tuesday and had to go off.
