Borussia Dortmund could be without Sebastian Haller, their goalscorer at the Civitas Metropolitano on Wednesday, for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final showdown against Atletico Madrid, which takes place at Signal Iduma Park on Tuesday night.
The Ivorian striker started Dortmund’s victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, but had to be withdrawn after just 10 minutes after suffering a blow to the same foot that was recently injured.
