Borussia Dortmund are pinning their hopes of a UEFA Champions League quarter-final comeback (Monaco lead 3-2 on aggregate) on the returning Marco Reus when Thomas Tuchel's side face the Ligue 1 leaders in France on Wednesday (kick-off: 20:45 CEST/18:45 GMT).

The attacking midfielder returned to action in BVB's 3-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend, finding the net after only two minutes. Reus' firm friends, Andre Schürrle and Mario Götze, both remain absent, however.

At the back, Marc Bartra's continued absence means that Tuchel will employ Matthias Gineter at centre-back alongside Sokratis, who also found the net against Frankfurt, while attacker Ousmane Dembele is a surprise exclusion from the starting line-up.
