Japan wing Shinji Kagawa could be fit to face Hanover on Sunday in the Bundesliga after he returned to training on Tuesday with German league leaders Borussia Dortmund.

"Things look good," said Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp after Kagawa trained with the team again just six days after suffering an ankle injury.

"We will wait to see how the ankle reacts and we don't want to put him under any pressure."

The 22-year-old suffered torn ankle ligaments in training last Wednesday which kept him out of Dortmund's 1-0 win at Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

"The medical department has done a really good job for us," said Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl.

"For Shinji, it looks really good. I hope he can play for us at the weekend."

Kagawa has been in superb form for Dortmund this season and had scored four goals in four matches before his ankle injury.
