The 25-year-old missed this match due to illness and BVB manager Niko Kova\u010d said he wasn\u2019t fit to play yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Kova\u010d is \u2018still hesitant\u2019 over the defender\u2019s involvement against Manchester City. At this moment in time, the manager may have to do without the player.<\/p>\n<p>Over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faz.net\/agenturmeldungen\/dpa\/dortmunds-schlotterbeck-auch-fuer-duell-mit-city-fraglich-110760192.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/a>, they also report Schlotterbeck is doubtful to face Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>The Germany international, who has been BVB\u2019s defensive leader, already missed the start of the season due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>Borussia Dortmund will come up against their former player, Erling Haaland, when they face Manchester City. He has 15 goals and an assist from 12 matches this season. Sky and FAZ say Schlotterbeck\u2019s absence would certainly be a blow for Kova\u010d and his side.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Manchester City\u2019s immediate focus will be on their league clash against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nico Schlotterbeck is at a risk of missing Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-237806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
