By Can Erozden

ANKARA (AA) - Borussia Dortmund's Norwegian forward Erling Haaland is set to return to action this weekend from a hip flexor injury that lasted over a month.

"Erling Haaland will be on the bus (with the team to Wolfsburg on Saturday)," Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose told German media on Friday.

The German club also said on Twitter: "Erling Haaland will be available for a brief shift (at Wolfsburg)."

Title contenders Borussia Dortmund will visit Wolfsburg in a Saturday German Bundesliga match at Volkswagen Arena.

Haaland, 21, scored 13 goals in 10 appearances this season.

He last played for Borussia Dortmund in a UEFA Champions League group match that Ajax Amsterdam won 4-0 at Johan Cruijff ArenA on Oct. 19.

One of the team's main pillars, Haaland has been sidelined for many matches due to the hip injury but is likely to return to the game before the Bayern Munich clash in Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park on Dec. 4.
