"Per a release from the club's social media account on X, Borussia Dortmund will be without center-backs Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle when the team squares off with Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday: ℹ️ Personal update ahead of the Champions League home match against Atalanta: Nico Schlotterbeck (muscular issues) and Niklas Süle (thigh injury) were absent from the final training session and will not be available for tomorrow's game."
"This is a big blow for the Borussia Dortmund backline, which will have to rely heavily on the experience of Waldemar Anton and Ramy Bensebaini to cover for Schlotterbeck and Süle. Emre Can is also banged up for the Black and Yellows. It remains to be seen if Borussia Dortmund will trust Luca Reggiani to play a role. Reggiani, a U-19 player, subbed in for Süle after the former Bayern Munich star was injured in the team's 4-0 win over Mainz 05 on Friday."
Nico Schlotterbeck (muscular issues) and Niklas Süle (thigh injury) missed the final training session and will not be available for Tuesday's Champions League match against Atalanta. Waldemar Anton and Ramy Bensebaini are expected to shoulder the central defensive responsibilities in their absence. Emre Can is also carrying an injury concern. U-19 defender Luca Reggiani could receive minutes after replacing Süle when Süle suffered an injury during the 4-0 win over Mainz 05 on Friday. Squad depth in central defense will be tested, increasing reliance on experienced defenders and youth cover for the upcoming fixture.
