The statements of Edin Terzic on the eve of Milan-Borussia Dortmund

On the eve of the match against AC Milan that is valid for the fifth day of the group stage of the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic wanted to update on the injury issue in a press conference.

"Haller yesterday è trained with the team, è came with us, as well as Adeyemi, who forò did not play the last training session. Sule decided not to come to Italy, in case there are Can and Bensebaini who can play central. Schlotterbeck has a bit of a cold, but his condition è better than Niklas. He will stay in the hotel today and train regularly tomorrow. Sabitzer è exited at the last league game with a thigh strain. In the last few days he has been doing individual work, tomorrow he will work with the group and I hope to have him available for the match" began the German coach.

"I am not so sure that Leao will not be thereà tomorrow, I am waiting for the official lineup to know. We know that Milan will be able to count on the push of their fans. This è an important stadium and we are happy to be able to play there. We will have to be there from the start, because we know they will try to get their supporters excited. In Germany they say that Italian teams are very good in defense, and against PSG I saw how disciplined and careful the Rossoneri defended and that impressed me" continued the BVB coach.

"Every victory helps. We were at a disadvantage and managed to come back. Tomorrow è a Champions game against an opponent with whom we could not afford mistakes. Our goal is not è to necessarily finish first in the group, but we have a chance to do so by winning against AC Milan, so we will do everything we can to try to detach the pass for the round of 16 with one day in advance" commented Terzic.
