Dortmund (AP) - Borussia Dortmund is worried about the use of defense chief Mats Hummels and captain Marco Reus before the quarter-final second leg in the Champions League on Wednesday (9 p.m. / Sky) against Manchester City.
"We have to wait and see for whom it is enough," said BVB coach Edin Terzic on Tuesday, referring to the remaining training sessions before the game.
Both regulars were replaced last Saturday at 3-2 at VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
Defender Manuel Akanji believes that a loss of the veterans would hit Borussia hard: “Both have a lot of experience in the Champions League.
It would help us a lot if they were on the pitch. "
Dortmund lost the first leg in Manchester with 1: 2.
Jadon Sancho will definitely be missing.
After recovering from a muscle injury, the England international is back in training, but not yet ready for action.
«He's back on target and really accelerating, but not yet an option.
It is important that he stays with us for a long time and that he doesn't come back quickly and be out again for a long time, ”commented Terzic.

Despite the absence of Sancho, the coach is hoping that Borussia will make it into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2013: “That would be an unbelievable story when you see how the whole season went.
We want to show that we can perhaps eliminate the best team in this competition. "
