Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been recalled by Borussia Dortmund ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League showdown with Tottenham.

However, he has been reintroduced to the first team for the must-win clash at the Signal Iduna Park.

Aubameyang was seen training with the rest of the squad at the club’s Brackel Training Ground on Monday morning.

The 28-year-old took full part in the session and is expected to start with his team needing a victory to keep their hopes of qualification for the knockout stages alive.

Aubameyang was suspended because the freestyler in question is sponsored by Red Bull, a rival to Dortmund’s backers, and principal financiers of rival club RB Leipzig.

He had to watch from the stands as Dortmund’s abysmal run of form continued with a 2-1 defeat by Stuttgart.

Peter Bosz’s men, who have not won in any competition since September, have managed just two points from four games in Europe this term and must beat Spurs and Real Madrid in their final two games to stand any chance of progressing.
