In recent weeks it has been revealed the ninetime Olympic champion, who will retire from athletics after the 2017 World Championships in London,has beentraining with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, with the Jamaican hopeful of trying his hand at professional football later in his career.

. @BVB @usainbolt Is he available on Saturday? Asking for a friend.

While there will obviously be some questions marks over Bolt's footballing ability, his status as the fastest man in the world would no doubt strike fear into the hearts of defenders, most of whom wouldn't have a chance in hell of catching the 30-year-old should he use his pace to full effect.


One player who is not sobothered by the prospect is Bayern Munich's Mats Hummels. With Bayern set to take on Dortmund on Saturday, the Germany international is likely to have his hands full with anotherpace merchant and star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored 11 Bundesliga goals in nine appearances this season.

Responding to a comment on Twitter, Hummels questioned whether the gap between Bolt and Aubameyang is really that big - in terms of pace anyway.


The match between Bayern and Dortmund is arguably the biggest match in the Bundesliga, and with Aubameyang in such frightening form,Hummels and his colleagues will need to be on top form to keep the Gabon international quiet.
