Dortmund captain Marco Reus, on the other hand, was present, wearing tape on his right knee.
At the pre-match press conference, Dortmund coach Marco Rose revealed that he would make a late decision on the duo's availability.
Injuries kept Haaland and Reus out as Dortmund suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
In addition to Haaland, Thomas Meunier, Manuel Akanji, Axel Witsel, Mats Hummels and Raphael Guerreiro were absent from today's training session, most likely just because they were given a rest.
