So far, Niclas Füllkrug has only made short Bundesliga appearances for BVB. He is also not in the starting line-up for the Champions League game in Paris.
Borussia Dortmund starts the Champions League game against the French champions without a central attacker Paris Saint Germain. Neither new signing Niclas Füllkrug nor Sebastien Haller are in the Bundesliga club’s first eleven. Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen form the storm.
Out of respect for the attacking French, coach Edin Terzic decided on a defensive option: three central defenders, Niklas Süle, Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck, are there from the start.
