"He's [Reus] training with the ball and feels good, but I'd urge caution," Tuchel explained. "It's the most complicated and decisive stage of the season. If we weren't in April, I'd take things slowly. I'm not yet sure what to do for the best."

Fourth-placed Dortmund face Bundesliga rivals Hamburg and Bayern Munich in the space of four days, before taking on AS Monaco in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg on 11 April.
