Borussia Dortmund will have to tackle the Champions League away match in Lisbon without top talent Youssoufa Moukoko (17).
In addition to Moukoko, who is still struggling with his eye infection, Thorgan Hazard, who has contracted COVID-19, the red-suspended Mats Hummels and Luca Unbehaun are also missing on the plane.
Instead, left-back Nico Schulz and substitute keeper Stefan Drljaca have joined them on their way to Lisbon. “We have a good opponent waiting for us “, said coach Marco Rose before the flight: “We have the chance to move into the next round with a win. It’s worth working for and believing in ourselves.” The 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart and “the way we worked for it gives us tailwind.”
In Champions League Group C, Sporting (+2 goal difference) and BVB (-4 goal difference) are tied on six points. On the final matchday, Dortmund will then face Besiktas at home, while the Portuguese side have to travel to leaders Ajax Amsterdam.
