United States international Christian Pulisic is set to return to Borussia Dortmund's squad for their Champions League match at Club Brugge.

Pulisic is set to return to the BVB squad after missing the last two league matches  with muscular problems, having last played in the 4-1 win over RB Leipzig on Aug 26.

The 19-year-old will make his 100th senior Dortmund appearance on Tuesday if selected.

Having started their Bundesliga campaign with two wins and one draw, Dortmund will look to return to winning ways in Champions League, where they have not won since a 4-0 victory over Benfica on March 8, 2017.

But they will be without forward Paco Alcacer and midfielder Thomas Delaney.

When departing for Brugge early on Monday, Dortmund were without Alcacer -- who scored on his debut for the club on Friday, but he also picked up a muscle injury -- and Delaney, who is also nursing a minor injury.
