Borussia Dortmund standout Marco Reus was fortunate to avoid serious injury during Thursday's Europa League round of 32 tilt after taking of a ghastly tackle from FC Porto defender Silvestre Varela.
Die Borussen supporters packing the Westfalenstadion held their collective breaths in recollection of a litany of ankle injuries that forced the 26-year-old winger to miss both Germany's 2014 World Cup conquests and chunks of last season.
Reus recovered to double Dortmund's lead with a 71st-minute deflected strike.
