As the UEFA Champions League knockout stages draw near, the competition is set to intensify. Matchday 5 in the formidable 'Group of Death' (Group F) holds significant stakes, with teams separated by a mere point. AC Milan is poised to take on Dortmund at San Siro in this crucial stage of group-stage matches.
The Rossoneri, having secured a 2-1 victory over PSG in front of their home crowd, are prepared to host the German club. Meanwhile, Dortmund, buoyed by their 2-0 triumph over Newcastle, embark on a journey to Italy. Sitting at the top of their group, the Black and Yellows seek a win to secure their qualification to the knockout stage.
In terms of injury and team news, AC Milan faces the setback of Noah Okafor sustaining a hamstring injury during the international break. This adds to their existing injury list, which includes Rafael Leao, Simon Kjaer, Pierre Kalulu, and Marco Pellegrino. For Dortmund, Julien Duranville and Felix Nmecha are the only confirmed absentees. Both teams, despite these challenges, are expected to field strong lineups in what promises to be a decisive and open-to-all encounter.
