'We have patience with him' - Zorc denies Dortmund are planning to send Reinier back to Real Madrid

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has played down reports in Spain that the club are considering curtailing Real Madrid loanee Reinier's scheduled two-year stay at the club.

The Brazil youth international swapped La Liga for the Bundesliga - at least until June 2022 - in a deal earlier this season, arriving at Signal Iduna Park from Madrid.

However, he has struggled for game time after an initial clutch of games off the bench, notching just 38 top-flight minutes to date this term.

Reinier is currently sidelined after contracting coronavirus last month, and has not played for the club since the Champions League win over Club Brugge on November 4.
