Borussia Dortmund vs Club Brugge: Predicted XI, confirmed team news and injury latest | OneFootball

Last season’s Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund get their European campaign underway this evening against Club Brugge. It’s the first time the teams have played each other since November 2011 with Dortmund winning 3-0 both home and away.

In-form Karim Adeyemi to start for Borussia Dortmund

After scoring a hat-trick for Germany U21s, Karim Adeyemi kept up his scoring run with a brace against Heidenheim last weekend. The 22-year-old forward also registered an assist and is expected to work his way into Julian Nagelsmann’s senior Germany squad for the October international break. Another performance tonight will surely cement that.
