Borussia Dortmund suffered their fourth defeat in their last five games on Tuesday, crashing out of the DFB-Pokal after a 1-0 extra-time loss to Wolfsburg.

The defeat - Dortmund's fifth in a row on the road - piles further pressure on head coach Nuri Sahin, with critics calling for his sacking.

However, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl insisted in a post-match interview that Sahin is not on the chopping block.

"We will stand together. We'll get through this together," Kehl said after the defeat.
