Borussia Dortmund have been rocked by a major injury setback ahead of their Champions League knockout phase play-off against Atalanta on Tuesday.
The Bundesliga side confirmed on Monday that Nico Schlotterbeck (muscular problems) and Niklas Süle (thigh injury) missed the final training session ahead of the game and will not be available.
The injury problems add to Dortmund’s defensive headache, with captain Emre Can and centre-back Filippo Mané also sidelined.
Schlotterbeck sat out Dortmund's 4-0 win over Mainz last Friday due to suspension, while Süle was forced off at half-time and replaced by youngster Luca Reggiani.
