Having made significant progress in his recovery from an adductor injury, Fabio Silva could make his debut for Borussia Dortmund against Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

According to local outlet Ruhr Nachrichten, the summer signing from Wolverhampton will be included in the squad if he avoids any setbacks during the final two training sessions ahead of the game.

Silva joined Dortmund for a €22.5 million fee just before the transfer window closed, but has yet to play for his new club due to the injury.

The club will be hopeful that the 23-year-old can provide valuable backup for talismanic forward Serhou Guirassy.
