Jerome Boateng may also be unavailable to Jupp Heynckes, though the 29-year-old has made the trip and will be assessed in a series of tests before kick off.

Bayern will also be without Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Juan Bernat and Franck Ribery, though Dortmund have a string of injury issues themselves. 

Erik Durm, Marco Rues, Sebastien Rode and Lukas Piszczek are all sidelined through injury, while Dan-Axel Zagadou will miss the game through suspension.
