Aubameyang fit for DFB-Pokal semi-final

Berlin - Borussia Dortmund's Thomas Tuchel says Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be fit for Wednesday's German Cup semi-final at Hertha Berlin as the club looks to heal the hurt of their Europa League exit at Liverpool.

Aubameyang has scored 37 goals in all competitions for Dortmund this season, but limped out of Monday's training with a toe injury, sparking concerns about his fitness.

"Aubameyang took a hit to his toe in training, which was very painful, but it shouldn't be an issue for Wednesday," assured Tuchel, Dortmund's head coach.

Aubameyang is on an incredible goal-scoring run in the German Cup, having scored in each of Dortmund's last seven cup games - including their 3-1 defeat to Wolfsburg in the 2015 final - dating back to the start of last season.

With Bayern Munich meeting Werder Bremen in Tuesday's other semi-final, Dortmund is determined to reach the German Cup final to exorcise the heartache of a dramatic European quarterfinal exit at Anfield.

"The set up is similar to how it was in Liverpool: it's a knock-out game, an away match, we'll be meeting a euphoric opponent, who are full of confidence from the great support of their home fans," said Tuchel.

Tuchel admits Dortmund is still processing last Thursday's 4-3 defeat at Liverpool having thrown away a 3-1 lead.

"It would be hypocritical to say that we will have been working on the Liverpool result until tomorrow -- there is no medicine for that," said Tuchel.

"We are finding things out about ourselves and that's okay. We're on the right path to dealing with it.

"Of course, after such a defeat as that, you feel bitter, but it's not the end of the world.

"It hasn't been an issue in our concrete preparations for tomorrow."
