Mahmoud Dahoud is out for Dortmund until November with a shoulder injury. Mateu Morey is sidelined for several months after surgery for a torn meniscus. Elsewhere, Karim Adeyemi, Jamie Bynoe-Gitten’s doubt, and Donyell Malen’s doubt.
Both teams won their opening matches and the result of this match will play a big role in determining the group winners. Manchester City have more time to prepare and rest as the Premier League is cancelled, which could be an advantage.
