Dortmundvs.Real Madrid

sportsmole.co.uk, 30 May 2024, 06:13

Unfancied underdogs Borussia Dortmund seek a monumental scalp over the continent's most successful side when they head to Wembley to tackle Real Madrid in Saturday's tantalising Champions League final.

Edin Terzic's side subjected Paris Saint-Germain to their latest dose of European heartbreak in the semi-finals to reach the trophy match for the first time since 2013, where they were coincidentally beaten at Wembley by Bayern Munich.

Eleven years later, the Bundesliga powerhouses are within touching distance of their first major honour in three seasons and their first Champions League crown in 27, having only ever gained European supremacy in 1997.

Ahead of Saturday's mouthwatering tie, Sports Mole rounds up all of Dortmund's injury and suspension news ahead of the battle with the 14-time European Cup winners.

Sebastien Haller

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: June 1 (vs. Real Madrid)

Sebastien Haller - an unused substitute throughout the semi-finals - missed Dortmund's final five Bundesliga games of the season due to an ankle problem, but he has taken part in team training and is therefore pushing to be a part of Terzic's selection this weekend.

Ramy Bensebaini

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Left-back Ramy Bensebaini should not be so fortunate, as the Algeria international sustained a knee injury while representing his country in March, which has extinguished his chances of an appearance at Wembley.

Julien Duranville

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: June 1 (vs. Real Madrid)

Eighteen-year-old winger Julien Duranville has endured a seriously disrupted 2023-24 campaign due to muscular injuries, and while it remains to be seen if his latest concern will rule him out of the final, he would certainly not have started anyway.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND'S SUSPENSION LIST

Borussia Dortmund have no players suspended for the final.
