Dortmund team news
Mats Hummels, Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck are all doubtful, but Sule and Hummels may be passed fit enough to start at the heart of the defence.
However, Thomas Meunier, Mateu Morey and Julian Duranville remain unavailable, and Edin Terzic is likely to stick to his front line with Sebastien Haller at the forefront.
