Back in the picture ... Mitch Langerak (Getty Images)
Australian Mitchell Langerak could make only his second Bundesliga appearance for German champion Borussia Dortmund at Hamburg on Sunday with first-choice goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller doubtful.
Langerak, who was part of the Socceroos' squad which enjoyed a shock 2-1 friendly win over Germany last March, will be between the posts for Dortmund in Hamburg if Weidenfeller fails to recover from back pains.
The former Melbourne Victory shot-stopper has only just returned to fitness after damaging stomach muscles during Dortmund's training camp in La Manga, Spain, but insists he is ready to play.
"Roman hasn't trained, so Mitchell Langerak is back in the picture after his injury, he is our first option," said Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp.
Langerak has made a cup appearance this season, keeping a clean sheet against second-division Dynamo Dresden in Dortmund's 2-0 second-round victory in October.
He has made just one league appearance, when he helped Borussia enjoy a crucial 3-1 win at Bayern Munich last February.
