In addition to Nuri Sahin, Borussia Dortmund will also be without Marcel Schmelzer and Sven Bender when their Bundesliga campaign resumes away to Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday evening (18:30 CET).

"We hope that we will be able to use him in Sunday's match and that he will soon be available again for us," said coach Thomas Tuchel of Schmelzer. That means that the left-back could return to action in the weekend's friendly away to Union Berlin (17:00 CET). (br)
