Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City: Team News

Borussia Dortmund welcome Erling Haaland and Manchester City to the Signal Iduna Park on matchday five of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City lock horns in the UEFA Champions League in what should be another absorbing contest between the two sides. Pep Guardiola’s side have already qualified for the round of 16, and the Black and Yellows will be aiming to seal their place in the knockout rounds on Tuesday evening.

The reverse fixture saw Manchester City come from behind to clinch a 2-1 win, courtesy of a late Erling Haaland goal. But Borussia Dortmund delivered a disciplined and resolute performance at the Etihad Stadium, and that will no doubt serve as the blueprint for how they approach Tuesday’s game.

Borussia Dortmund will be sweating on the fitness of Nico Schlotterbeck ahead of the game after the centre-back suffered a muscle issue during Saturday’s win over VfB Stuttgart. There are also question marks over the availability of Marco Reus and Donyell Malen.

Salih Özcan will miss the game due to suspension after picking up his third yellow card of the group stage on matchday three. Thomas Meunier, Sebastien Haller, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Mahmoud Dahoud and Mateu Morey are also sidelined.

Manchester City will have to make do without Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips, who are injured. While left-back Sergio Gomez is suspended after being sent off against FC Copenhagen on matchday three.

Former Borussia Dortmund trio Ilkay Gündogan, Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji are set to feature for Manchester City on Tuesday.
