Players to watch out

Niclas Fullkrug (Borussia Dortmund)

Fullkrug has a few tendencies and tools in his skillset that make him more than just a simple target man, except for all the qualities that he has, he is a traditional number nine player. He even drops to the midfield to create chances for his teammates, all eyes are on him this season. He is playing exceptionally well and will be a serious threat to the opposition. In the current season, the 30-year-old has scored two goals and takes fourth place within his squad.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United):

The 22-year-old winger is among the best in the Premier League right now, thanks to his amazing performances under Howe. His dribbling and pace are his greatest assets, allowing him to tear through defences with ease. In the absence of Isak and with Wilson benched in midweek’s EFL Cup clash, Gordon was the main leading the lineup at front. He has three goals and two assists in the Premier League so far and is yet to open his account in the Champions League.

Match facts:

Borussia Dortmund notched their first UEFA Champions League win of the season against Newcastle.
Newcastle United and Dortmund are tied at four points in Group F.
Newcastle United have scored four goals and conceded two, Dortmund on the other have only scored one goal in the Champions League so far.

Injury & team news for Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United

In the reverse fixture at St. James’ Park, Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can came off the pitch due to a hip injury which will keep him out for several days. In the same match, Newcastle United’s injury woes continued as another injury was added to the list.

Aleksander Isak, the Swedish international, came off after a quarter of an hour of play against BVB in the previous matchday and his presence is clearly a question as his return time is still not clear. The Swedish international has therefore been added to an already well-stocked list of absences with in this case Harvey Barnes (ex-Leicester) and the suspended Sandro Tonali on the list.
