Gregor Kobel remains a doubt for Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League last-16 second leg clash with Chelsea tonight.

The BVB goalkeeper missed Friday’s 2-1 win over RB Leipzig after picking up a muscle problem in the warm-up.

And speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the Chelsea game, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic revealed that a late decision will be made on his involvement tonight.

“Gregor has been receiving treatment in Dortmund for the last two days,” Terzic told reporters.

“He is getting better day by day. We will work with him immediately and decide tomorrow after the training if he can be there”.

If Kobel can’t play, Alexander Meyer will be in goal for Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.
