The Borussia Dortmund plane with 21 players on board has departed the Ruhr and is now making its way to Salzburg. Prior to departure, there was a real sense of optimism among the Black & Yellows that they could "overturn" the first leg result and get the win they need in Salzburg to reach the UEFA Europa League last eight.

Among the absentees are Jadon Sancho, Andrey Yarmolenko, Sebastian Rode, Shinji Kagawa and Erik Durm, who are all training individually in Dortmund as part of their rehabilitation, as well as Manuel Akanji, who is ineligible. (br)
