Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are facing trouble in defence after Niklas Sule was forced off at the weekend after taking a knock to his right ankle, joining Waldemar Anton, who continues to recover from a muscle problem, on the sidelines.

Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi are both in a race against time to be fit to feature, but Maximilian Beier will miss out after also sustaining an injury in the draw with Gladbach.

Gio Reyna has been back for just over two weeks, but is yet to receive a proper runout by manager Sahin, and he is unlikely to get that here either.
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Nmecha, Gross; Malen, Guirassy, Gittens

Barcelona
There are no new injury concerns for Barca, with defender Andreas Christensen still out, along with Marc Bernal and Ansu Fati further forward, but Ronald Araujo is believed to be in contention after five months out.

Ferran Torres recently returned from injury and has now scored in back-to-back games, but he is set to remain on the bench from the start here, with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal the preferred options either side of Robert Lewandowski, who reached 100 UCL goals after netting against Brest.

The season-ending injury to Marc-Andre ter Stegen means Inaki Pena continues to deputise in goal, being preferred to Wojciech Szczesny, who came out of retirement to join the club earlier in the season.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Inaki Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-2 Barcelona
