Bologna are preparing for a challenging Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, but they will have to navigate the game without key midfielder Michel Aebischer, who is sidelined due to a hernia issue. Long-term absentees Nicolo Cambiaghi and Oussama El Azzouzi have returned to training but are not expected to feature in the upcoming match.
On the visitors’ side, Dortmund will be missing defender Niklas Süle, who is out until next month with an ankle injury. Additionally, Ramy Bensebaini will not participate due to suspension after receiving a yellow card in their previous group stage match against Barcelona.
