Before leaving for Manchester, BVB went to the training ground. Two players missed the final session and are out.

The 25-year-old was recently absent from the 1-0 win against FC Augsburg due to illness. Schlotterbeck now looked fit in training and ready for the duel with the English champions.

BVB, on the other hand, has to do without Niklas Süle. The defender was unable to train on Friday and did not travel to England due to problems with his toe. Julian Brandt is also not available. The 29-year-old trained individually on Tuesday. He is out of the game due to muscular problems.

On the fourth matchday of the group stage, Dortmund will face Pep Guardiola’s team. Both clubs have taken seven points from three games so far. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is on Wednesday at 9 p.m. (in the live ticker on t-online), the game will be broadcast on DAZN.
