Watching the players
Donyell Malen (Dortmund)
A 24-year-old Dutch forward has played in every single game played by the German club this season. This is not surprising! Donyell is fast and agile. He is also a stringer of passes in the midst of defenses. In his seven games with Dortmund throughout every tournament, Malen has scored three goals. The fans will be looking forward to him scoring an additional goal and two against the opposition in the coming games.
Olivier Giroud (AC Milan)
Don’t get fooled to believe that he’s old! Olivier Giroud, a 36-year-old French striker, is showing that age is not an age. He’s scored four goals and has provided three assists in six league matches which shows he’s still playing in top form in European competitions. With his current level of play it’s impossible for the manager to take him off the bench. He’s a valuable player for his team, despite his old age.

Bensebaini has a domestic ban however, for the moment it’s clear that he’s healthy enough to take on Dortmund next week. However, Mateu Morey and Thomas Meunier are out with injuries to their hamstrings and knees respectively. Terzic is hopeful that Marcel Sabitzer will return to training soon, however his participation in the game against Milan is not certain. Salih Ozcan is a possibility to play in to fill in the gap. Emre Can, who was a former Liverpool player is expected to work along with Ozcan in the midfield. It is unclear if Reus’s goal of the week can be enough for the club to retain Karim Adeyemi off the bench.
AC Milan team news
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is expected to be out for the next two games because of an injury to his abdomen. Milan has a midfield issue because Ismael Benjamin and Rade Krunic have also been ruled out. Yunus Musah is likely to replace Tijjani Reijnders in the middle with Tommaso Pobega or Yacine Adli rounding out the trio. Mattia Caldara, as well as Pierre Kalulu are also nursing injuries. Pulisic’s goal in the last game increases his odds of being a starter in the right-hand side of the pitch against his former club.
