Borussia Dortmund have a number of injury issues heading into the game. Jadon Sancho will be out until April due to a muscle injury, and his game-changing ability will be sorely missed against Sevilla. Raphael Guerreiro and Gio Reyna are also doubts, having missed Saturday’s game against Bayern Munich.
Borussia Dortmund are confident of having Erling Haaland fit for the game against Sevilla after he was forced off with a nasty gash at the weekend. He is expected to be joined by Marco Reus and Thorgan Hazard in attack.
Sevilla are set to be without Aleix Vidal, who has a hamstring injury. But Yassine Bounou should be back in goal after missing the Elche game with a knock. If Bounou is not fit enough to start, Tomáš Vaclík will keep his place in the Sevilla goal. Lucas Ocampos could also start after missing the first leg through injury.
Expected Starting XIs
Borussia Dortmund: Hitz – Morey, Hummels, Zagadou, Schulz – Can, Delaney, Dahoud – Reus, Hazard – Haaland
Sevilla: Bounou – Navas, Kounde, Diego Carlos, Acuna – Jordan, Fernando, Rakitic – Suso, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
