Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs. Ajax

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has a fully fit squad at his disposal for his side's opening Champions League game of the season against Ajax on Tuesday night.

German international Marco Reus found himself on the bench at the weekend but is expected to return to the starting lineup for the visit of the Dutch champions.

Holding midfielder Sven Bender is also in contention for a place in the Dortmund 18-man squad following his return from hernia surgery.

In contrast, Ajax coach Frank de Boer has a number of injury concerns. Nicolai Boilesen, Eyong Enoh and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson have all been ruled out with complaints.

However, former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is likely to make his starting debut.

This encounter has been dubbed a must-win for both sides considering that the other two teams in the group are Real Madrid and Manchester City.
