Borussia Dortmund boss Nuri Sahin is struggling with a headache ahead of hosting Barcelona on December 11.
The Bundesliga giants welcome Barcelona to Signal Iduna Park for their sixth match in the new competition phase of the UEFA Champions League this season.
Both sides have collected 12 points from their opening four matches and a win for both is likely to confirm their place in the 2025 Round of 16.
Sahin's team go into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach and are currently sixth in the national rankings.
However, a point on the road in Mönchengladbach came at a cost for Sahin, with key centre-back Niklas Sule having to leave injured in the closing stages.
The Germany international looks set to miss the defeat to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo, with midfielder Emre Can tipped to come on in defense.
Striker Karim Adeyemi will return for Sahin after a two-month absence due to a muscle tear.
