Blaszczykowski on; his break:

"My break was long enough. If I run now, make things coordinate and work a little with the ball, that is already much better than what I could do before this month. I'm still not 100 percent, but I'm in a good way.

Blaszczykowski on; returning from injury:

"This week will be crucial. If everything goes smoothly, I could start in the next week.

"Although I'm still not completely pain costless, I realise in practice that it will get better by the day. I am pleased with how it has developed, and I am glad it will not take long."

Blaszczykowski on; Robert Lewandowski's move to Bayern Munich:

"In this [football] business, it is normal that sometimes a top player foes. Everyone now decides for themselves what is right for them. Nuri Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski have left Dortmund, but Borussia still lives on because every year good new players join.

"We will be helping Adrian Ramos, Ciro Immobile, Matthias Ginter and Ji so that they can be integrated quickly and we find ourselves as a team." 

Blaszczykowski on; Dortmund's five world champions:

"I actually said before the World Cup; Germany can win the tournament. Germany always plays well and are consistent at European or World Championships. What they showed in the semi-final against Brazil was great."

Blaszczykowski on; facing Germany during the EURO Qualifiers:

"We [Poland] have never won against Germany. Maybe it helps that we are outsiders because we have no pressure. This could be our chance. I am very happy to play in Warsaw against the boys of Borussia."
