So the surprise here is that Ederson is still not fit for the starting XI. He was rested against Napoli to be ready here, but evidently that twinge he felt in training was worse than previously thought.

“We need to leave fewer spaces, we were caught out with a few long balls, and we need to close the gaps down, be more aggressive, more intense, and above all play the ball better. They have a high defensive line and we can hurt them,” De Roon told Sky Sport Italia.
“Dortmund are a very strong squad, I expect them to come here trying to win, not to just defend the result. We must push for 90 minutes along with our fans, hope to have a little bit of luck, but mainly courage to score some goals here.
“We know the fans in Bergamo well, I am sure they will push us on for 90 minutes with their pride to be here playing in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. They will be the 12th man.”
