Schlotterbeck returns to boost Dortmund backline against Bilbao

DORTMUND: Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck will make his Champions League return at home to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, with the German team determined to improve their defending. Dortmund, seconds away from an upset win at Juventus two weeks ago, had to settle for a 4-4 draw after the Italians scored twice in stoppage time. Schlotterbeck, who suffered a serious knee injury in April, has played in Dortmund’s last two Bundesliga matches. His return was also welcomed by Germany Julian Nagelsmann who confirmed he would select the defender for next month’s World Cup qualifiers.
