Real Madrid
With Kylian Mbappe - who has recently been named as a reasonable suspect in an alleged rape case in Sweden, accusations he vehemently denies - making a full recovery from a muscular problem, Real are only missing their three known absentees for Tuesday's game in Dani Carvajal (knee), David Alaba (knee) and Brahim Diaz (abductor).
Carvajal's season-ending surgery has raised speculation that Real could pursue a January deal for Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Lucas Vazquez is holding the fort for the time being.
One change to the Blancos' starting XI may come on the opposite side of defence, where Ferland Mendy should replace Fran Garcia, while Rodrygo will also be eyeing a return to the XI, potentially in Aurelien Tchouameni's place after the Frenchman left Monday's training session early due to discomfort.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Tchouameni, Valverde; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr
Borussia Dortmund
Meanwhile, Adeyemi's heroic hat-trick performance against Celtic came at a cost, as the German suffered a severe hamstring injury at the start of the second half and is not expected to be back in action until the end of November.
Adeyemi is joined in the Dortmund infirmary by Julien Duranville (thigh), Giovanni Reyna (groin) and Yan Couto (muscle), while Pascal Gross and Niklas Sule are both on the doubtful list; the former had to be taken off at half time in the win over St Pauli, but both have trained.
Either Nmecha or the up-and-coming Jamie Bynoe-Gittens should fill in for Gross if needed; if the latter plays and scores, he would become the youngest English player to ever bag a goal against Real Madrid in the UCL, breaking the record set by a 20-year-old Alan Smith for Leeds United in 2001.
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Can, Sabitzer; Malen, Brandt, Gittens; Guirassy
Prediction: Real Madrid 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
