Haaland will play no part in Dortmund's Europa League second leg Credit: Getty And they will have to attempt a second leg comeback without their talisman Haaland.

The Norwegian has not travelled to Scotland with the rest of the Dortmund squad.

Marco Rose's side have been without the forward for their last three Bundesliga games.

Haaland was suffering from muscular problems and so played no part in the games against Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin.

He was then deemed not fit enough to start against Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend.
