Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up for their Champions League quarter-final first leg with Manchester City.

Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho is expected to miss his side's trip to the Etihad Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City on Tuesday evening.

The former Citizens protege is nursing a thigh problem and this game will likely come too soon for him to return, but he should be available for the second leg at the Westfalenstadion on April 14.

In his absence, Thorgan Hazard and Marco Reus will provide support to Man City-linked striker Erling Braut Haaland, who is aiming to become just the fifth player ever to score in seven consecutive Champions League matches this week.

Haaland will miss the second leg of the quarter-final if he is cautioned at the Etihad, but there is no chance of the 20-year-old - who holds the record for the quickest time to reach 20 Champions League goals - dropping out here.

Jude Bellingham makes a quick return to familiar surroundings this week and will hope to line up from the first whistle at the Etihad, while Thomas Delaney and Mahmoud Dahoud should link up with the 17-year-old in midfield.

Dahoud's recall would likely see Raphael Guerreiro return to his more familiar left-back role, especially as Nico Schulz's own goal opened the scoring in Dortmund's 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend.

Marwin Hitz has also kept Roman Burki out of the team despite the latter's return to fitness, and Edin Terzic could once again rely on Hitz to act as the last line of defence against Man City.

Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Hitz; Can, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro; Delaney, Bellingham, Dahoud; Hazard, Haaland, Reus
