Double boost: Schlotterbeck and Süle set to feature in Manchester | OneFootball

On Wednesday evening, Borussia Dortmund can take another significant step towards the knockout phase of the Champions League after securing seven points from the first three games. However, they face a formidable challenge against Manchester City and former top scorer Erling Haaland. It is all the more important for BVB to rely on their first line of defense against the current second-placed team in the Premier League.

On Friday evening against FC Augsburg (1-0), a three-man defense with Aarón Anselmino alongside Waldemar Anton and Ramy Bensebaini managed to keep things tight at the back. However, as alternatives, only Emre Can, after a long injury break, and the actual full-back Julian Ryerson were on the bench, while Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle did not travel to the Fuggerstadt at all.

Schlotterbeck expected to complete final training

Schlotterbeck and Süle are expected to board the plane to Manchester and be fit to play. According to information from "Bild," Schlotterbeck is set to train individually today, Monday, after an infection, but will participate in the final team training on Tuesday and then start the match the following day, provided there is no health setback.

Süle did not travel to Augsburg due to toe problems, but according to "Bild," there is no cause for concern. The 30-year-old will typically not be in the starting lineup but would be valuable as a backup. Even more so if Schlotterbeck is not yet at 100 percent.
