Dortmund’s injuries pile up ahead of Barcelona game as defender Niklas Süle ruled out for months

Associated Press  

DORTMUND, Germany — Borussia Dortmund will have a heavily depleted squad for its Champions League game against Barcelona after defender Niklas Süle was ruled out for “a few months” with an injury. Ahead of Wednesday’s game in Germany, Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin said Tuesday that Süle joins an injury list including fellow defender Waldemar Anton and attacking midfielder Julian Brandt, while forwards Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi are both doubtful. Adeyemi hasn’t played in more than two months since he scored a hat trick against Celtic in the Champions League on Oct. 1 and picked up a muscle injury. Sahin said Adeyemi was on his way back to fitness but “we just have to weigh up whether it makes sense to throw him in after such a long time.” Barcelona is third and last season’s Champions League runner-up Dortmund fourth in the 36-team standings on 12 points apiece.
