Team news
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund will have to play without Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan when the German side travels to Azerbaijan due to political tension between Armenia and the host country. Speaking to the press, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said, ''We have looked at the situation and there is so much tension that we have to look at the players’ interest here.’’
''You always have to look at safety concerns. If a player does not feel comfortable and has fear, we will obviously bear that in mind.’’
Dortmund will also play without Erik Durm and Nuri Sahin due to injuries, but Marcel Schmelzer could make a comeback to the squad after recovering from a thigh problem.
