Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic has provided an update on his squad ahead of Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Most notably, Terzic revealed that Nico Schlotterbeck and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens are slight doubts, while six players are back, including regular starters Gregor Kobel, Emre Can and Julian Brandt.

“Gio Reyna and Thomas Meunier are out. Gio came back from his international trip with a cold and has been lying flat since yesterday, Thomas has been plagued by back problems for over a week. He had to stop training yesterday. There are question marks over Nico Schlotterbeck, who has been back in training since yesterday, and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who had no complaints yesterday,” Terzic said.

“But we have six players back who did not play against Köln: Gregor Kobel, Emre Can after his yellow card suspension, Salih Özcan, ‘Jule’ Brandt, Karim Adeyemi and Youssoufa Moukoko. With Adeyemi and Moukoko, we’ll have to see if they’re fit enough to play tomorrow. They have been out for weeks.”
