Borussia Dortmund News & Analysis

Borussia Dortmund had a disappointing performance against Tottenham Hotspur in their last Champions League game in London. Daniel Svensson made a bad foul and got a red card in the 24th minute, which made Dortmund’s task pretty difficult. Svensson won’t be available to the manager Nico Kovac against Inter.

Now Kovac has to decide what kind of a line-up to put on the pitch against Inter Milan. A possible return of the veteran Emre Can would bring experience to the team while Max Beier, Carney Chukwuemeka and Julian Ryerson are all options for the starting eleven.

Dortmund’s main striker Serhou Guirassy will try to improve his Champions League record for the season. The African star has just three goals in the competition since the start of the season. Can he score another one against Inter?
