Team News

Borussia Dortmund do not have any new injury concerns to deal with. Marcel Schmelzer and Reinier Jesus are the only players who will definitely miss the game, while Thomas Delaney remains a doubt after missing the win over Hertha Berlin.

Youssoufa Moukoko could be on the bench once again as he aims to become the youngest debutant in Champions League history, just days after breaking the Bundesliga record.

Lucien Favre said during his press conference that he will continue to rotate his squad to deal with the packed fixture list. That could mean starts for Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna and Jude Bellingham.

Club Brugge will be without Matej Mitrović and Federico Ricca, while Eduard Sobol is also unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19 while on international duty. While star forward Emmanuel Dennis will also miss the game after being dropped for disciplinary reasons.

Expected Lineups

Borussia Dortmund: Bürki – Meunier, Hummels, Akanji, Passlack – Bellingham, Can – Sancho, Reyna, Hazard – Haaland

Club Brugge: Mignolet – Mata, Kossounou, Deli, De Cuyper – Vormer, Rits, Vanaken – Diatta, Lang, De Ketelaere
