Marco Reus captaincy of Borussia Dortmund is not an issue of concern for chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke.
Reus role as Dortmund s on-field leader has come under renewed scrutiny after Lucien Favre s side twice threw away the lead to draw 2-2 at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.
In the aftermath of the contest at the Commerzbank Arena, Reus gave an interview to Sky Deutschland and snapped: Don t come to me with your s*** about mentality.
Every week it s the same c**p.
Briefly addressing the issue in quotes reported by Kicker, Watzke maintained the Germany forward s status was not up for debate.
The discussion about captaincy for Marco Reus leads nobody in Dortmund, he said.
6 have not won any of their last six away games at Frankfurt (three draws, three defeats) in the . Their last win was a 2-1 in September 2013. Unlucky.

Watzke s backing came after Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told Bild on Tuesday: Marco Reus is, of course, our team captain.
In this situation, like the other experiences players in the team, he has to show leadership and I m sure he will.
Sunday s result saw Dortmund miss out on the chance to climb above Bayern Munich into second behind early Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig.
Favre s men host Werder Bremen at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, where Reus will look to add to a haul of three goals in five top-flight appearances this term.
