Newcastle United will travel to Germany in the third round of Group F fixtures, which many regard as the ‘group of death’ this season.
Unbeaten domestically – but goalless in the Champions League
Then comes a double header against the Bundesliga club, who are one of only three clubs in the German top flight to have started the season unblemished. This evening, they play Werder Bremen.
While United’s start in Europe’s top flight has been encouraging, Dortmund’s has been less so, with a 2-0 loss to PSG followed by a 0-0 home draw with Milan.
And Dortmund look poised to be without one of their most exciting offensive alternatives this evening – a man who has previously been linked with a high-profile move to Newcastle.
Edin Terzic reveals Dortmund injury concern
Head coach Edin Terzic has informed that he will be without Youssoufa Moukoko against Werder Bremen on Friday due to an injury sustained during the international break.
This raises questions about whether the Germany international will be able to go to Tyneside early next week.
One bright spot is the return of former Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer to Dortmund’s ranks.
“Marcel #Sabitzer will be available again,” Terzic stated. Unfortunately, Youssoufa Moukoko has a thigh strain and will be unable to compete tomorrow.”
