The upcoming clash between Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League’s group stage is indeed crucial, especially if both teams are competing for the second spot in the group. After the first three rounds of the group stage, both Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle have accumulated four points each.
Currently, Paris Saint-Germain leads the group with six points, and AC Milan trails with only two points. If Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle continue to vie for the second spot in the group, this match will carry significant importance, and both teams will likely strive to be in the best possible physical condition for the game.
However, Borussia Dortmund is facing concerns about the fitness of some key players. A former Liverpool midfielder in their squad is sidelined with a bruised knee and is not participating in training sessions. The coach has stated that they are assessing his condition day by day, and a decision regarding his availability for the match will only be made on Tuesday morning, just hours before the match against Newcastle. This situation adds uncertainty to Dortmund’s lineup for the game.
On the other hand, there is some optimism regarding Bensebaini, who has been dealing with a thigh issue. The coach mentioned that Bensebaini has been training on the pitch, and Dortmund is hopeful that he will be fit and ready to play in the match.
This match could potentially have a significant impact on the standings and the progression of both teams in the Champions League group stage, so fans and football enthusiasts can anticipate an exciting and closely contested game.
