Former PSV Eindhoven winger Donyell Malen is competing to start up front against his old team when Borussia Dortmund come to town in Tuesday's Champions League tie.

The Germans make the short trip across the border into the southern Netherlands for a last-16 first leg having topped a tough group containing Newcastle, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain in the first half of the campaign.

Since then, Borussia have reinforced their ranks with Premier League loanees Ian Maatsen and Jadon Sancho, both of whom are set to start.

However, they will be without Sebastien Haller due to an ankle injury along with Ramy Bensebaini, Karim Adeyemi and Felix Nmecha.

Malen was rested on the bench for the weekend draw at Wolfsburg after suffering from knee trouble but, if fit, is expected to start in the Netherlands ahead of Marco Reus.

PSV are unlikely to hand Armel Bella-Kotchap a first start since October despite his return from a shoulder injury.

A troublesome hamstring issue is expected to keep Noa Lang out.
