Borussia Dortmund are contending with a trio of injury concerns ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s visit in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg.
Mats Hummels exited the weekend defeat at RB Leipzig nursing a knock while Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen is another doubt.
Donyell Malen trained ahead of the visit of PSG after three games out with a knee injury but reports in Germany suggest he is more likely than not to miss this match.
Sebastien Haller and Ramy Bensebaini are both expected to be unavailable as Edin Terzic looks to energise his Dortmund team, which has been strong in Europe this campaign but looks set to miss out on the Bundesliga top four.
Domestic matters have come far more naturally to PSG, who won Ligue 1 on the weekend despite resting several key players.
Kylian Mbappe, Lucas Hernandez and Gianluigi Donnarumma were all taken out of the line-up for the 3-3 draw with Le Havre. Goncalo Ramos will remain on the bench despite his late equaliser at Parc des Princes.
