Jurgen Klopp "full of anticipation" ahead of Bundesliga return

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp insists that his "batteries are full" as he attempts to rescue his side's faltering campaign.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp remains hopeful that his side can turn around their season in order to avoid a shock relegation from the Bundesliga.

The German heavyweights endured a torrid first half to the campaign, winning just four of their opening 17 matches to find themselves two points adrift of safety.

Despite this, Klopp insists that Dortmund will return to action in a positive mindset later this month when they take on Bayer Leverkusen.

"My batteries are full," the 47-year-old is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "I am full of anticipation. We have a huge schedule in front of us and we want to start the second half of the season in a good, positive mood."

Despite their domestic woes, Die Borussen qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League by topping Group D ahead of Arsenal.
