Team News

Borussia Dortmund will be without key centre-backs Dan-Axel Zagadou (knee) and Manuel Akanji (COVID-19) once again. Emre Can will also miss a return to Italy, as he is suspended following his red card against PSG last season. But Lukasz Piszczek has traveled to Rome, and could feature despite the eye injury he suffered against Hoffenheim.

Marcel Schmelzer (knee), Nico Schulz and Thorgan Hazard (both hamstring) will also miss the game.

Lazio will welcome star striker Ciro Immobile back to the starting XI, but will be without Senad Lulic (ankle), Andreas Pereira (illness), Silvio Proto (arm), Luiz Felipe (ankle) and Stefan Radu (hamstring). Manuel Lazzari and Bastos are also doubts going into the game.

Expected Lineups

SS Lazio: Strakosha – Patric, Acerbi, Hoedt – Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Alberto, Marusic -Immobile, Correa

Borussia Dortmund: Hitz – Piszczek, Hummels, Delaney – Passlack, Bellingham, Witsel, Guerreiro – Sancho, Reus, Haaland
